Peyton Manning’s nephew, Arch Manning, is one of the most hyped high school football prospects ever. He has finally picked his school for 2023.

Denver Broncos Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning is part of a very famous football family already.

His father, Archie Manning, was a second overall pick and college football Hall of Famer out of Ole Miss who made two Pro Bowls as an NFL player.

His brother, Eli Manning, has won two Super Bowls, two Super Bowl MVPs, and made it to four Pro Bowls after being picked first overall in the 2004 NFL Draft.

Now, his nephew Arch Manning is about to take the college football world by storm.

After a very lengthy recruiting process and trips to just about every major school in the country, Arch Manning has finally decided he’s going to play his college football next season for the Texas Longhorns.

Being a Manning, the pressure was already on Arch as he began playing football to live up to the family name.

At this point, he feels like a bit of a modern-day LeBron James when it comes to the hype surrounding him as a prep prospect.

He’s the top overall recruit in the class of 2023. He’s arguably the most hyped college football prospect of all-time.

Especially in this era of football, it seems like Arch Manning could become the biggest college football star we’ve ever witnessed.

That’s a lot of pressure to put on a kid that has not yet even graduated high school, but that does appear to be the trajectory he is on.

A handful of years ago, similar hype was heaped upon Trevor Lawrence, the undisputed number one player in the country when he committed to play for Clemson.

Lawrence absolutely lived up to the hype and became a coveted NFL prospect just like everyone anticipated he would.

Arch Manning already has some looking forward to the 2026 NFL Draft.

Unlike Peyton Manning, Arch is a bit more creative and effective as a runner. That’s not to take away from his passing skills, either, as Arch has been dropping dimes for years at this point.

It’s cool to see the next in line of the Manning family and how exciting this young football player is.

I’m sure we can expect to see plenty of Peyton Manning on the sidelines at Texas Longhorns games in the semi-near future, making it three different shades of orange he’ll have represented from his time as a Tennessee Volunteer to the Denver Broncos and now supporting his nephew.

Will Arch Manning become a number one overall pick someday like his uncles? We’ll have to take it one day at a time, of course, but for the time being, that certainly seems to be the path he’s headed down.
