Arch Manning reportedly opting out of EA Sports’ College Football 25 had fans making jokes

Of the 10,000 players players who have opted in to EA Sports’ College Football 25 to get $600 and a copy of the game, there’s one notable name who will reportedly NOT be part of that group: Arch Manning.

The Texas QB and nephew of Eli and Peyton Manning is reportedly not opting in, per Anwar Richardson (see below), which is kind of a curious thing. It’s the easiest $600 to make, right? And the speculation has begun on why he said no — Pro Football Talk suggested that “It seems more likely that Arch wanted more than $600, and that EA passed. Arch doesn’t need to be in the game, and EA doesn’t currently need him in the game, since he’s not the starter at Texas.”

But that last part is interesting — maybe he doesn’t want to be in there because he’s a backup and could transfer?

Fans had so much to say, including jokes:

1. It’s totally cool for Arch Manning to not opt in to EA Sports College Football 25 because he isn’t being properly valued.

2. Opting in shouldn’t take away focus from playing (unless he refused a larger marketing role), whereas opting out has and will lead to much attention. https://t.co/uHeYigwCr8
