The Manning family has football running in their blood, and now Arch Manning is next in line. The son of Cooper Manning and nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning, Arch has had all eyes on him as he prepares to head off to college in 2023.

The main thing people have wondered is which college he’s going to go to. Recently, the most exciting news to emerge from this query is that Arch might actually attend Tennessee University—the same college that his Uncle Peyton attended all those years ago.

At the current moment, Arch is only a 16-year-old star sophomore quarterback in high school. Nevertheless, Tennessee has let everyone know that they’ve offered Arch a spot on their roster when he’s finally ready.

And Tennessee would be lucky to have him. According to 247Sports scout Gabe Brooks, Arch is pretty darn talented: “One-of-a-kind quarterback pedigree that manifests in advanced feel for the game and awareness,” Brooks relayed. “Elite QB prospect among the nation’s top recruits in the 2023 class. Likely a multi-year impact starter at the Power Five level with early-round NFL Draft potential.”

This is pretty high praise, and fans of the Mannings should be excited to see where the wind takes this young quarterback. Even if he becomes half as good as Peyton was in the NFL, that’ll still be impressive.
