Arch Manning sends CFB fans into a frenzy after doing "Donald Trump dance" during the Florida game

Arch Manning’s appearance during Texas’s dominant 49-17 win over Florida was always going to be a highlight for fans. The backup quarterback followed Quinn Ewers on the field and later joined his teammates to celebrate the Texas Longhorns' huge victory.

Fans noticed he pulled off what looked like the signature “Trump dance,” sparking a wave of social media reactions.

A post highlighted his Trump-style moves on X, asking,

“Did he just do the Trump dance? Go Longhorns!!! Hook Em’.”

The playful moment had a fan lighting up X, asking,

“He just did the Trump dance I love it."

A fan replied,

“Oh yeah, he sure did..”

Another fan joked,

“NFL will probably flag and fine you .”

A thrilled fan wrote,

“He did!! ”

With Texas up 42-0 in the third quarter, head coach Steve Sarkisian finally let Manning take the field, giving fans another glimpse of the highly-anticipated backup QB. Though Manning struggled initially, the energy in the stadium lit up as fans eagerly watched him take snaps.

The rookie quarterback’s time on the field may have been brief, but his victory dance was the talk of the night.

Arch Manning is dedicated to growing at Texas

Arch Manning’s dedication to developing his skills and patience as a backup at Texas is impressing fans. The freshman quarterback, a former five-star recruit, has seen limited playing time behind starter Quinn Ewers, but he’s making the most of every moment.

So far, he’s had a few standout relief appearances, like in games against Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks and Mississippi State Bulldogs, where he combined for four touchdowns and over 580 passing yards.

While Ewers is focused on leading Texas toward a national championship, Manning has taken a supportive role. In their latest game against Floria, Ewers threw for 333 yards and five touchdowns, and Manning followed him on the field to end the game with a landslide victory.

Arch Manning seems focused on learning from his experienced teammates and building confidence with each game with the goal of taking over the starting role next season as Ewers likely heads to the NFL.
