Manning name links Tennessee and Texas ahead of Neyland Stadium clash
Peyton and Arch Manning are expected at the 26 September game, with the former Tennessee quarterback watching his nephew lead Texas against the Volunteers.
Peyton and Arch Manning are expected at Neyland Stadium on 26 September when Tennessee hosts Texas, according to Yahoo Sports. Attendance has not been confirmed in the supplied report.
The matchup brings together the family’s connections to both programmes: Peyton is a former Tennessee quarterback, while Arch is Texas’s starting quarterback.
Yahoo Sports reported that Arch had completed 61.5 per cent of his passes for 661 yards, with seven touchdowns and two interceptions, after three games in 2026.
The report also traces the family’s football history. Archie Manning played at Ole Miss and spent 13 seasons with the New Orleans Saints. Peyton won two Super Bowls and five NFL MVP awards, and entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021.
Arch’s father, Cooper, committed to Ole Miss as a receiver but left football after a spinal stenosis diagnosis. His uncle Eli played at Ole Miss and won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants.
