Manning was an anchor on the UNT defensive lines in the late 1980s and is tied for second on the all-time list with fellow Hall of Famer Adrian Awasom for career sacks with 20, trailing only Willis Hudson, who had 24. In 1989, he set the school record for sacks in a single season with 13, which is still good enough for second all-time. He earned All-Southland Conference honors in 1988 and 1989. Manning was a 3-year starter for Hall of Fame coach Corky Nelson and is one of only five Mean Green players to ever be named to the Kodak All-American team. After his time in Denton, Manning was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Chicago Bears.
