College football fans anxiously await to see where high school quarterback Arch Manning will commit.

On Friday night, college football fans were able to watch Class of 2023 quarterback recruit Arch Manning play in primetime on ESPNU. On Saturday, Manning was in attendance for Ole Miss’ game against LSU, where his uncle Eli was having his No. 10 retired by the Rebels.

College football fans are waiting as patiently as they can for Manning to make his decision as to which program he will commit to. You’ve heard enough about Arch Manning, so let’s tell you about his dad.

Who is Arch Manning’s dad?

Arch Manning’s father is Cooper Manning, the oldest brother of Peyton and Eli. Cooper played wide receiver at Isidore Newman High School, the same team his son plays for, and caught passes from Peyton in his senior year.

Cooper received a scholarship from Ole Miss, but never had the chance to play for them, as his playing career ended after being diagnosed with spinal stenosis.

Currently, Cooper works for FOX Sports, where he hosts the show, “The Manning Hour.”
