Top 2023 quarterback Arch Manning will have a decision to make soon.
Will it be the Alabama Crimson Tide, the Georgia Bulldogs, or, lastly, the Texas Longhorns?
Those are the programs, it seems, that are most in the mix.
No one really knows the conversations happening inside the Manning household, even if they pretend they do. But we’ll know soon what the future holds for the latest member of college football and the NFL’s Manning family dynasty. He visits Austin this weekend for the final stop of our three-stop official visit tour. There’s reason to think he’s leaning Texas.

▫️Very
▫️If a recruit takes another OV after visiting your program, you have <25% chance of landing them
▫️Don't waste resources on recruits who move on
▫️Commit rate of the last OV is ~2-3X the rate of the next-to-last OV pic.twitter.com/dVyzpBIVy4
So, it’s gonna be a big weekend, folks. You already know what else is up.
