Texas' Arch Manning recalls advice from Matthew McConaughey at Manning Passing Academy
There are lots of eyes that gravitate toward the starting quarterback at a blue-blood college football program, let alone at a program such as Texas. For first-year starter Arch Manning, there comes even more fame and expectations given his family lineage, having Super Bowl-winning uncles Peyton and Eli Manning, and grandpa Archie Manning, who played in the NFL for 13 years. Arch Manning, speaking to The Athletic in an interview at the Manning Passing Academy in Thibodaux, Louisiana, mentioned receiving advice from one of the most famous Longhorns about his newfound position with the program. "A few. It depends on the night, but I stay pretty low key," Arch Manning told reporters via The Athletic on Friday when asked of how many picture requests he gets on campus. "... I had to get used to it a little bit. I've actually talked to Matthew McConaughey about that. He's given me some advice. He's been great to have in my corner." McConaughey, who's at nearly every Texas Longhorns football game and is known for his role as the team's "Minister of Culture," knows a thing or two about dealing with fame, especially within the context of Austin, Texas, as the Academy Award winner graduated from UT in 1993 and has taught classes at the university. Arch Manning, according to On3's name, image and likeness valuations, is the most valuable college athlete in 2025, as he's worth $6.8 million according to the metric. Arch Manning was even recently featured in a Raising Cane's advertisement alongside his dad, Cooper Manning, Archie Manning and LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. MORE: Steve Spurrier questions Arch Manning as Heisman Trophy favorite, Texas as SEC frontrunner Arch Manning, Cooper Manning, Archie Manning, Garrett Nussmeier, and Todd Graves always stop when they pass a Cane's on their way to @Manning Passing Academy What did McConaughey tell Arch Manning as the former No. 1-ranked quarterback takes over as signal caller in 2025 after two years of being Quinn Ewers' backup? "He's way more known than I am, so it's good anytime you get advice from him," Arch Manning said. "… He kind of told me you still have to live your life. He says he goes to the grocery store, walks down every aisle and he lives his life. You can't let you taking a picture or signing an autograph affect your life." Arch Manning passed for 939 yards with nine touchdowns to two interceptions as a redshirt freshman last season, also rushing for 108 yards and four scores. The 6-foot-4 quarterback threw for 325 yards with two touchdowns in a start against Mississippi State, as he filled in for the injured Ewers. Arch Manning is set to be perhaps the most talked about college athlete across all sports in 2025, and he'll look to remember McConaughey's advice as he aims to get Texas back to the College Football Playoff for the third consecutive year.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce looked glamorous in date night photos
🚨| Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce out in NYC! The offseason continues for NFL tight end Travis Kelce, and he's making the most of his free time until his training camp report date on July 21 in St. Joseph, Missouri. Kelce has made a trip to Cannes, France for the Cannes Lions festival, traveled to New York, Florida and Nashville and hosted guests like Shaquille O'Neal and Steve Spagnuolo on his podcast New Heights. He has also made plenty of time to hang out with pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift as the two near their two-year anniversary. The 14-time Grammy winner and 3-time Super Bowl champion have been on dates in New York City, took in a game of the Stanley Cup Final and participated in Kelce's Tight End University in Nashville. The duo has looked incredibly happy, whether around town, canoodling at hockey or with Swift on stage performing in front of a small crowd. Saturday night, the couple once again hit the town in the Big Apple. Photos shared with People Magazine showed Kelce and Swift hand-in-hand on the way to dinner, with Kelce in a floral embroidered white shirt and black pants and Swift in a pink and white houndstooth dress. It has been quite the summer for the glitzy pair, and here's hoping it continues.
