Summary
Texas roster updates show Arch Manning at 222 pounds, down 13 from the 235 he said he reached during recovery from January foot surgery.
The weight gain came while Manning wore a protective boot and had his spring workload restricted, sitting out live 11-on-11 drills and the spring game.
Manning said he is now 100% recovered and fully cleared for summer conditioning and fall camp ahead of the 2026 season.
The healthier outlook matters for Texas because the dual-threat quarterback played through foot discomfort in 2025, when the injury affected his mechanics despite 3,163 passing yards and 26 touchdown passes.
Texas opens Sept. 5 against Texas State before a marquee home game with Ohio State, with Manning entering the season under Heisman and 2027 NFL draft scrutiny.
