The No. 1 overall recruit in the 2023 class has three schools on his heels.
Arch Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, has yet to set a commitment date. However, the five-star quarterback appears to have a couple of schools that are waiting to roll out the red carpet for him.
Alabama, Georgia, and Texas are the three schools getting the “most buzz” so far. Those might be the most notable schools, but certainly aren’t the only ones.
Virginia, Florida, and LSU aren’t out of the running, according to Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports.
“Virginia’s a program that very early on in the process talking to his dad and talking to his couch, was a school they wanted to go see and take a recruiting visit,” Wiltfong said Monday on CBS Sports HQ. “So, it’s no surprise Arch Manning took a visit to Virginia earlier this spring and they’ve obviously known coach Tony Elliott for a long time as Clemson was an early contender for Arch Manning, as well. When you look at the visits, he’s taken three visits to Alabama, three visits to Georgia and he’s taken three visits to Texas to date. Florida, LSU, and Ole Miss — where he’s taken two visits — are other contenders.
“LSU and Florida making moves under their new coaching staffs, Brian Kelly, and company in Baton Rouge. I’m told the communication has been strong there. And then Florida has been an interesting school as well and certainly, coach Napier and the success he had at the University of Louisiana is attractive to any prospect as Florida tries to rebuild their program. Alabama, Georgia, and Texas are the programs that have gotten three visits to date and they’re the programs who have gotten the most buzz because of that.”

As a junior last season at Isadore Newman, a private school in New Orleans, Manning threw for 1,947 yards and 26 touchdowns with only four interceptions.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound quarterback is the No. 1 quarterback and No. 1 player overall in the 2023 class, per the 247Sports Composite.
