Texas Longhorns fans can breathe a sigh of relief—star quarterback Arch Manning has been officially medically cleared and is ready to hit the ground running for summer workouts.

Manning underwent foot surgery back in January, shortly after the 2025 season wrapped up. The procedure kept him limited during spring camp, leaving many wondering if he'd be fully recovered in time for fall. Now, with a green light from the medical staff, he's set to join summer workouts starting June 1—right on schedule.

Details around the surgery were kept under wraps, with UT officials calling it a "minor" and "preventative" measure to address a previous injury. But the lack of information sparked concern among fans, who worried that missing reps in spring could lead to a sluggish start in 2026.

That concern is understandable. The Longhorns face one of the toughest schedules in college football this season, and with championship aspirations on the line, every snap counts. A slow start is simply not an option.

Manning's return is a massive boost. In his first full season as the starter last year, he threw for 3,163 yards and 26 touchdowns, while adding 10 more scores on the ground. With that kind of production, having him at full strength is key to Texas making a serious run.

So mark your calendars—summer workouts begin June 1, and Arch Manning will be there, ready to lead the Longhorns into what promises to be an electrifying season.
