Manning, who 247Sports has rated the No. 1 overall player in the class of 2023, is the hottest name in terms of high school quarterbacks right now. He is from a family of football royalty, and seems to be following in the footsteps of his uncles and grandfather.
Texas is reportedly in the mix for Manning still, along with schools like Georgia and Ole Miss whose head coach Lane Kiffin was in attendance for his playoff victory.
Manning would be a perfect fit for Sarkisian’s offense, but it has remained unknown for the most part if Texas’ struggles have hurt their chances with him.
The Longhorns will have more opportunities to try and impress him, but surely Manning is focused on his season and leading his team further in the playoffs as the semis are the furthest he has taken Isidore Newman.
