This is such. big news in the world of football. Manning is the nephew of both Eli and Peyton Manning who were both selected with the 1rst overall pick in their draft.
Cooper Manning's eldest son is not only the No. 1 recruit in the 2023 class, per 247Sports Composite Rankings, but he has a perfect 1.000 score, making him one of only seven players in 247 history to earn the perfect score and one of three quarterbacks, joining Vince Young and Quinn Ewers.
Manning has one more season remaining at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, Louisiana. Manning will now follow in the footsteps of both Young and Ewers who attended (and still is for Ewers) the University of Texas.
"This all unfolded authentically and organically,» Isidore Newman head coach Nelson Stewart told 247Sports. «He's a super special kid and I'm confident in his decision.«I'm excited he can smile and have a great senior year. It's certainly been a journey unlike any other.»
