The recruiting website 247Sports unveiled its top 100 prospects for the 2023 class on Wednesday, in which Manning, 15, was rated fifth overall and No. 1 at quarterback.
Plying his trade at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans — the same school his father, Cooper, and uncles Peyton and Eli attended — Manning enjoyed an impressive freshman season, throwing for 2,438 yards with 34 touchdowns and six interceptions.
"He really surpassed what we could have hoped for," head coach Nelson Stewart said. "While certainly his name looms very large, he's able to play within himself."
Stewart added: "He likes to get coached and he doesn't always think he's right. There is an authenticity to him and a humbleness to him and he doesn't have all the answers.
"He has a team-based approach, great work ethic, and he's incredibly humble. He's all about his teammates, all about getting better, everything is earned, nothing is given, I think that's the biggest thing."
