Arch Manning's family no longer has eyes only for Texas quarterback: his sister takes the spotlight off him

Building her own path in business and marketing

While Arch Manning continues to make headlines as the future face of the Texas Longhorns, his older sister, May Manning, just hit a major milestone of her own by graduating from the University of Virginia.

Their father, Cooper Manning, marked the occasion with a heartfelt Instagram post, sharing a joyful photo of the two standing outside UVA's campus.

"We have a college grad! Proud of my girl @maymanning," the caption read.

Though the spotlight in the Manning household often falls on Arch - especially now as he prepares to lead Steve Sarkisian's Texas squad in the season - this weekend belonged to May.

While her last name may evoke images of Super Bowls and college football dominance, May has quietly built a resume of her own, far from the gridiron and with her own unique flair.

Building her own path in business and marketing

Born in 2002, May Manning attended the Academy of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans before enrolling at UVA, one of the nation's most prestigious public universities.

There, she carved a niche for herself in the business and marketing world, building real-world experience with internships across sports branding, investment, and boutique fitness.

Most recently, May has served as a part-time intern with purvelo cycle, a boutique indoor cycling studio based in Charlottesville, Virginia.

She began that role in August 2024 and helped the studio with marketing initiatives, consumer engagement strategies, and community outreach.

Prior to that, she interned with Bruin Capital, a leading investment firm in the sports and media sector, gaining exposure to the financial and strategic side of athletics - an industry her family knows well.

Cooper Manning, the eldest son of Archie Manning and older brother to Peyton and Eli, has always been proud of his children's individuality.

He and his wife, New Orleans-based attorney Ellen Heidingsfelder, have three children: May, Arch, and Heid.

And while Arch is drawing comparisons to his Hall of Fame uncles on the football field, and Heid continues to develop as a rising high school athlete, May's graduation is a reminder that this family's talents extend far beyond athletics.
