Arch Manning's Cousin Turns Heads With Latest Career Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

College football fans were aware of Texas quarterback Arch Manning dating back to when he was in eighth grade.

The former No. 1 overall recruit burst onto the scene with snippets of his performance as a 13-year-old eighth grader, going up against the varsity defense of Isidore Newman in New Orleans. At the time of the video he wasn't known to have any public offers, but it certainly generated a buzz around him as a prospect.

Fast forward a few years, and he has Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Texas all making a push for him. Ultimately, he chose Texas, where he has sat behind Quinn Ewers the past two years as college football's most hyped up backup ever. However, heading into the 2025 season, Cooper Manning's son is now the starter and is expected to be one of the players in the country.

While fans are excited to see how good he is in meaningful games, there has also been some recent excitement about his younger cousin, Marshall Manning. The son of two-time Super Bowl Champion, Peyton Manning, has made the move into SEC country.

As revealed by Rivals, the son of Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos legends is making the move from Colorado to the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee. According to his Hudl profile, he had plans to attend Cherry Creek High School in Colorado before the move.

A decision that has already led fans to predict where he will go and get excited about the next Manning quarterback.

"Future Vol! Moves from the suburbs of Denver Colorado just in time for 8th grade season along with High School," said one fan.

"Future Longhorn," said a second.

"Marshall just go ahead and commit bro," joked a third.

"Tried: 2026 eligible Arch Manning Wired: 2032 eligible Marshall Manning," joked another.

Now, there is certainly a bit of time before his recruiting will pick up, but seeing the lengths that programs went to for Arch, the expectation for Marshall is no different.
