Manning has certainly emerged as somewhat of a villain in the college football world, given his last name."I'm down at the Manning Passing Academy and there are some (expletives) in the stands who are actually booing Arch. And I'm like, the Manning family has invited you in, one of 1,400 campers to come in, and we've got a group of like 15 kids that are booing him," McShay said.However, the clear-cut favorite among the campers was Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. "Everyone in the crowd, I've never seen anything like it man, everyone in the crowd is in love with Trinidad Chambliss," McShay told Brandon Walker. https://www.youtube.com/live/LRZSkU8bm3E Arch Manning is known for his trash talkMaybe Arch Manning gave it back to the campers a little bit, too."I think the team responds really well to Arch," Steve Sarkisian said. "You know, I think Arch loves football. He loves to practice. He loves to work, and it's funny because Arch probably talks a little more (expletive) than people give him credit for outside of our building. So in practice, there's a good amount of banter that goes on, and now Arch has more confidence. He gives a little more of that banter. He gives a little more of that banter back."This story was originally published by The Spun on Aug 18, 2026, where it first appeared in the College Football section.
