Arch Manning will be Coxnoin the game.

The Texas Longhorns quarterback and heir to the Manning family of quarterbacks will be in EA Sports College Football 25 video game, he announced in a video shared on social media on Tuesday.

In the video, his uncle Eli Manning – also known as "Uncle E" – relays a play to him through a gaming headset as the younger Manning questions the philosophy. Arch Manning, as himself, then throws a touchdown in the video game and, as the uncle and nephew celebrate, the Texas quarterback announces, "EA Sports, I'm in the game."

Manning's announcement is not only significant because he was a prized college recruit or because of the family he comes from, but it wasn't going to be a possibility a few months ago.

With NIL, EA Sports College Football 25 will allow real college football players to be in a video game for the first time. But when it came time for players to announce if they wanted their likeness in the game or not, Manning reportedly decided to sit out because he was "focused on playing football on the field," according to Orangebloods' Anwar Richardson.

The decision was met with backlash since all players needed to do was submit a form to opt-in, and Manning is the backup to Quinn Ewers on the roster. Those that opt-in also earned $600 and a copy of the game. More than 10,000 players will be in the game when it releases next week, and EA Sports will reveal the full rosters of the game on Wednesday.

Now that Manning is in the game, users will be able to use Manning to lead the team to glory.
