Marshall Manning, the son of Vols legend Peyton Manning, worked out with an NFL QB from a rival SEC program
Marshall Manning, the son of Tennessee Volunteers legend Peyton Manning, is a quarterback in the class of 2030 recruiting class.
We’re probably a year away from the recruiting process heating up for 2030 quarterback Marshall Manning, the son of Tennessee Vols legend Peyton Manning.
Marshall will be a freshman at Baylor School in Chattanooga this fall. It’s unclear how much action he’ll see as 2027 four-star quarterback Keegan Croucher, an Ole Miss commit, will be the starting quarterback.
But when the recruiting process does heat up, Tennessee is obviously a program that will be heavily mentioned due to Peyton’s legacy on Rocky Top.
Marshall has grown up going to Tennessee games — it’s safe to say he’s grown up rooting for the Vols — but we have no idea, at least at this point, what the young quarterback will be looking for in a college program. I expect him to go through the process and make the decision he feels is best for his future. Maybe that ends up being Tennessee, but I don’t think he’ll choose the Vols just because Peyton went there.
Marshall Manning attends a Bo Nix camp in Alabama
Marshall may have had heard some Auburn (or Oregon) pitches this past weekend while attending a Bo Nix football camp in Alabama.
Nix, who is the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos (Marshall spent his childhood in Denver before transferring to Baylor School ahead of his eighth grade year), spent the first three seasons of his college career at Auburn before transferring to Oregon.
The hype is only going to build for Marshall from here (I honestly feel bad for him in a sense, because he’s going to face expectations that most high school athletes can never dream of facing). This could set up to be the biggest football recruitment of all time (think Arch Manning on steroids).
