Arch Manning, the nephew of Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Peyton and Eli, went viral again over the weekend when Newman faced off against Berkeley Prep in a high school football game televised on ESPNU.
Arch wasn’t able to lead Newman (4-2) to a win against Berkeley Prep (8-0), but he arguably had the most impressive highlight of the game — a 68-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

Newman was clearly outmatched against an undefeated Berkeley Prep, losing 40-24. Arch also threw two interceptions on Friday, but his overall outlook has drawn attention from some of the biggest college football programs in the country.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart was in attendance to watch Arch play on Friday, and the junior quarterback is also being recruited by Alabama, Clemson, Texas and Ole Miss.
It’s way too early to know if Arch will become as good as his uncles, but he might already have the best rushing ability in the family. He’s one to watch in the coming years.
