NEW ORLEANS — The what is obvious by now, right?
Arch Manning, the nephew of Super Bowl–winning quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning and the grandson of Archie Manning, has become arguably the most famous high school recruit in the U.S. since LeBron James in the early 2000s. At a minimum, he is the most talked about high school quarterback since Trevor Lawrence, with James-like pressure already circulating.
On Wednesday, a whirlwind recruitment full of high-level contenders officially came to a close the moment he inked a national letter of intent with Texas. He will enroll in January in what will be the most-tracked freshman campaign in college football’s recent memory.
