00:00 The name Manning is perhaps one of the most important,
00:02 most legendary names in NFL history.
00:06 It's a name that is sports royalty.
00:08 It's a name that's won four Super Bowls,
00:10 quarterbacked 47 total NFL seasons,
00:13 and thrown over a thousand touchdowns.
00:15 Three amazing quarterbacks have had the name Manning
00:17 on the back of their jersey,
00:18 and there will soon be one more, Archibald Charles Manning.
00:23 More commonly known as Arch, Arch Manning,
00:25 the nephew of Peyton Eli and the grandson of Archie,
00:28 is a freshman currently playing quarterback
00:30 for the varsity team at Newman High in New Orleans.
00:33 It's a high school famous
00:34 for that one legendary name, Manning.
00:37 And despite the number of Mannings
00:39 that have quarterbacked at the school,
00:40 Arch is the youngest to do so on the varsity team.
00:43 Arch, a 6'2", 170-pound 14-year-old,
00:48 has a chance to be better than any of the Manning family
00:50 that have come before him.
00:52 In Newman's season opener, his first game as a freshman,
00:56 Arch went and completed 24 of 34 passes for 234 yards
01:00 with three touchdowns and one interception
01:02 to lead Newman to a 41-15 win.
01:05 In his freshman season, he passed for 34 touchdowns
01:08 and was named the Max Preps National Freshman of the Year
01:10 for his efforts.
01:12 By the way, Arch's 34 touchdowns in his freshman season?
01:15 More than his uncle Peyton's touchdowns
01:17 in both his sophomore and junior years at Newman.
01:20 Oh, and he can move around the pocket a little bit too,
01:22 perhaps most like his grandfather.
01:24 His actual father, Cooper, was to be a wide receiver
01:27 at Ole Miss before injury, and folks in the area
01:29 maintain he was the most athletic of Archie's kids.
01:32 Now the newest Manning to come onto the football scene
01:34 will be highly sought after by colleges all over the nation.
01:38 And while the Manning family has declined
01:39 any and all scholarship offers to come his way so far,
01:42 the race for Arch Manning will be intense.
01:45 Ed Orgeron of LSU and Lane Kiffin of Ole Miss
01:48 have already reportedly been in touch with the family
01:50 and his school, trying to persuade the young phenom
01:53 to come play for them at theirs.
01:55 We can probably add Tennessee and Duke
01:56 to the speculative list of impending offers
01:59 once the Mannings want to move in that direction.
02:02 The future of Arch Manning looks bright,
02:03 and football fans everywhere should be excited
02:05 about the forthcoming of the Manning family.
