Texas quarterback Arch Manning is doing light workouts so far in spring practice following offseason foot surgery.But he said Wednesday that his body is as strong as its been since he had what school officials said was a minor procedure in January.I feel 100 percent right now. Were kind of taking it slow, but if we had a game today Id be playing, Manning said. Obviously when youre not out there, youre kind of antsy. It was hard the first few weeks just not being able to do anything. Now I get to do a little bit more.Manning is coming off his first season as the Longhorns full-time starter. The nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning passed for 3,163 yards and 26 touchdowns and ran for 10 TDs in 2025.While he waits to do more on the field, hes been focused on mental reps, footwork drills and getting to know some of his new teammates.Its been different, but its been good, Manning said. Its honestly been unique for me getting a bunch of mental reps and kind of being off to the side. But Ive gotten to spend a lot of time with these new guys freshmen, transfers and guys coming back. So, its been fun.Texas was the preseason No. 1 and finished ranked No. 12. The Longhorns missed the College Football Playoff and finished 10-3 with a Citrus Bowl win over Michigan that included Mannings 60-yard, game-sealing touchdown run.Manning described the season as a roller coaster. I think I could have had more fun. The first half of the season, I was (ticked), Manning said. I wasnt playing well and it wasnt fun for me. And then I kind of sort of said screw it and had a little more fun and started winning some games.Now he said hes concentrated on being the best version of himself going forward. He plans to leave the evaluations of how much hes improved to others.I think Im just trying to get better every day, Manning said. Thats not for me to judge, really.___Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.
