All anyone wants to talk about is which college Arch Manning will eventually commit to playing quarterback for. The 6’4″, 215-pound quarterback has thrown for over 5,000 passing yards and over 70 touchdowns in his three-year career with Isidore Newman and he’s got major interest from Texas, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Clemson, Ole Miss, and other top programs.
Wherever he goes to school, Arch will be compared to his uncles, Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. But before he even gets there, he’ll have a chance to accomplish something that neither of his very accomplished uncles was able to do in high school.
Win a state championship.
Both Peyton and Eli played quarterback for Isidore Newman before Arch and both had multiple shots to win state titles while there. Peyton lost in the state semifinals and state quarterfinals in two seasons at the helm while Eli lost in the state quarterfinals twice while he was led the team.
Arch Manning ends the regular season with a BANG! 🔥🎯
He went 11-of-15 for 153 yards and 3 total TDs in the first half! 👀

“When it comes to football, I think without question, especially on our level, it’s the hardest pinnacle,” Isidore Newman head coach Nelson Stewart told USA Today. “A state championship in football is unlike anything else.”
Arch’s Isidore Newman squad is 6-2 and the No. 5 seed in Division III 2021 playoffs. They have a first-round bye before they start playing and when they do, it’ll be a chance for Arch to make his own mark.
