AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has officially signed his first NIL contract, per an announcement Tuesday. Ahead of his freshman season, he's struck a multi-year deal with sports trading card company Panini American.

"I’m excited to announce my exclusive partnership with @paniniamerica!" Manning wrote on Instagram. "My first autograph trading card is a Throwback Black Prizm 1-of-1 which is Live on Auction at the link in my bio. All proceeds will benefit a Central Texas nonprofit through St. David’s Healthcare and St. David’s Foundation. Bid Now!"

Manning also shared a video telling fans about the details of the new deal and how bidders can win his first autographed card.

Take a look:

Though he showed some flashes during April's spring game, Manning has yet to take an official snap at Texas. Still, he now has an exclusive NIL deal despite potentially being the third quarterback on the depth chart this season.

“Getting my first Panini trading card is something I couldn’t have imagined growing up,” Manning said in a statement, per On3. “Working with Panini to have my first trading card benefit the larger community is special. Helping children live healthy and fulfilling lives is something that has always been important to my family.”

Per On3's NIL Valuation, Manning is third among all college athletes with a current value of about $2.8 million.
