Arch Manning, the nephew of NFL greats Peyton and Eli Manning, is following in his uncles’ footsteps and has been ranked as the United States’ best quarterback for the high school class of 2023.

Recruiting website 247Sports unveiled its top 100 prospects for the 2023 class on Wednesday, in which Manning, 15, was ranked fifth overall and number one quarterback.

Plying his trade at Isidore Newman High School, New Orleans – the same high 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 a number of offers from colleges including Ole Miss, LSU, and Duke among others.

Manning's grandfather, Archie Manning, and his uncle, Eli, both played quarterback at Ole Miss before going on to enjoy careers in the NFL - Archie with the New Orleans Saints, the Houston Oilers, and the Minnesota Vikings; and Eli with the New York Giants.

Peyton Manning on the other hand played his college football at the University of 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.
