Arch Manning family tree: How Texas QB is related to Vols legend Peyton Manning

Texas quarterback Arch Manning leads his top-ranked squad into Knoxville to face the Volunteers for a Saturday noon matchup. The signal-caller enters his second full year as the starter following a stellar finish to last season, where he accumulated over two thousand yards and fifteen passing touchdowns while guiding the Longhorns to a seven and one stretch including a bowl victory.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian praised his quarterback for overcoming last year's adversity, as the young athlete now faces massive expectations regarding the Heisman Trophy and the top spot in the upcoming professional draft. Football lineage runs deep for the six-foot-four passer, who is the grandson of Archie Manning, the son of Cooper Manning, and the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning.
