Arch Manning will be in “EA Sports College Football 25” after all!

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has changed his mind, making the announcement Tuesday that he has decided to opt in to the first college football video game we will have in our lives in 11 years — a long 11 years. Thank God the wait is almost over!

Back in March, Arch Manning made the move to opt out of “College Football 25,” but that all changed in a video posted to X. With his uncle, Eli Manning, joining, the sophomore announced the news, which only got me more hyped to play!

Things start out with Eli Manning calling out a play, which led into Arch showing up to make the playcall, as well as giving a shoutout to his other uncle, Peyton Manning, and his trademark “Omaha” signal. The play results in a touchdown pass, with Eli yelling, “Touchdown! Now that’s why you’re in the game!”

Arch Manning closes out the clip by saying, “EA Sports, I’m in the game.”

Honestly, that’s what I’m thinking this whole thing was — and genius if so.
