Mississippi State Bulldogs linebacker Derion Gullette (16) sacks Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning (16) during the first quarter at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field on Oct 25, 2025 in Starkville, Mississippi.

Arch Manning is in danger of missing Texas football's matchup against Vanderbilt this weekend.

According to the No. 19 Longhorn's coach Steve Sarkisian, Manning missed practice on Monday, Oct. 27, and is in the concussion protocol. Sarkisian did not rule out Manning playing this weekend against the No. 11 Commodores.

"He's in protocol right now," Sarkisian said. "We'll have more information as the week goes on."

Manning helped lead the Longhorns to a 17-point comeback in the fourth quarter against Mississippi State. However, in the overtime period, Manning scrambled for a 13-yard gain but exited after taking a hard hit.

He was hit by a pair of Bulldogs' defenders – including defensive lineman Kedrick Bingley-Jones – while reaching for extra yardage. Manning was down on the field for several minutes before being taken to the medical tent.

Matthew Caldwell delivered the game-winning touchdown pass to Emmett Mosley V in the same overtime session to complete the come-from-behind victory. Caldwell received the first team reps on Monday, with true freshman KJ Lacey playing with the second team.

Sarkisian added that Texas has submitted the hit on Manning to the SEC to be reviewed.

"We've turned in a few plays, and that's not uncommon," Sarkisian said. "We're always trying to just to make sure that we're understanding of the rules."
