After his Texas visit, Manning will be heading to Tuscaloosa to visit Alabama, so he’s having a busy month on the road.
The question no one can answer yet is which school has been able to creep ahead in the race for his signature.
Manning is the No. 1 player in the class of 2023, per 247Sports. His relation to Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, his uncles, is definitely part of the equation but he’s also displayed all the skills talent evaluators are looking for in a quarterback.
As a junior at Isadore Newman in New Orleans, Manning threw for 1,947 yards and 26 touchdowns while tossing just four interceptions. He rushed for seven touchdowns as well.
This isn’t Manning’s first visit to the Longhorns but rest assured Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian will have to pull out all the stops to make sure he leaves impressed.
