NEW ORLEANS — Homecoming win secured in dominant fashion on a humid Friday night, Arch Manning joined the postgame handshake line but didn’t exactly blend in, towering above at 6-foot-4.
Despite his unpretentious manner, he also loomed metaphorically — as the nation’s No. 1-ranked high school recruit and third-generation prodigy of football’s preeminent quarterback family.
He is the grandson of Archie and nephew of Peyton and Eli. He plays for Isidore Newman School, where Peyton and Eli starred, as did Arch’s father Cooper before spinal stenosis ended his athletic career.
