Arch Manning, the son Cooper and nephew of Peyton and Eli, is the No. 1-ranked quarterback prospect for the 2023 class, according to high school football prospect rankings published by 247Sports.com.
Arch is fifth overall in the rankings and second among offensive players, one spot behind 6-5, 285-pound offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa.
As a freshman at Isidore Newman High School last fall, Arch totaled 2,438 passing yards and 34 touchdowns against just six interceptions.
Arch’s father, Cooper, was a star high school athlete but his football career was cut short by spinal stenosis before he had a chance to play in college.
Arch is the grandson of Archie Manning, who played quarterback in the NFL. His uncles, Peyton and Eli, both won Super Bowls as pro QBs.
“Obviously, [Manning’s] a big last name but I have to keep it more about the team,” Arch said in an interview with Sam Spiegelman of Rivals.com earlier this year. “Winning the team over was my biggest goal to get the starting job.”
Arch has already received interest from Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss. Peyton played for the Vols; Eli played for the Rebels.
