Peyton and Eli Manning's nephew has been rated the best quarterback in the 2023 high-school class
  • Arch Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, has been rated the best prep quarterback in the class of 2023 by the recruiting website 247Sports.
  • Manning, 15, enjoyed an impressive freshman season at Isidore Newman in New Orleans, 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."
  • Manning already has offers from colleges including Ole Miss, LSU, and Duke.

Arch Manning, the nephew of the NFL greats Peyton and Eli Manning, is following in his uncles' footsteps and has been ranked as the best prep quarterback for the class of 2023.

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."

According to 247Sports, the teenager already holds offers from colleges including Ole Miss, LSU, and Duke.

Manning's grandfather Archie Manning and his uncle Eli played quarterback at Ole Miss before their NFL careers (Archie with the New Orleans Saints, the Houston Oilers, and the Minnesota Vikings, and Eli with the New York Giants).

Peyton Manning played his college football at Tennessee before joining the Indianapolis Colts in 1998 and later the Denver Broncos. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
