Report: Arch Manning's Interest in Georgia, Texas Getting 'a Little More Chatter'

Two top college football programs may be pulling away from the field in their pursuit of Arch Manning.

According to Chad Simmons of On3 there has been more chatter surrounding Georgia and Texas in recent weeks than the other schools that are interested in Manning.

Alabama and Florida may be in the mix for Manning as well, according to Simmons.

Manning is a 5-star prospect and the No. 1 overall recruit in the class of 2023.

Manning is a star at Isidore Newman High School in New Orleans who is coming off a productive season.

He threw for 1,947 yards, 26 touchdown and a career-low four interceptions, while also showing off his athletic ability with 381 yards and seven scores on the ground.

Manning has made several unofficial visits since last year. Georgia, Texas, Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, and SMU were some of the visited.

Simmons said that a visit with Florida could happen, as new Gators head coach Billy Napier was previously the head coach at Louisiana.

Sources told Simmons that Manning likes the fact that Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has experience as an offensive coordinators, and that he views Georgia head coach Kirby Smart as a personable head coach.

A source told Simmons that all the schools they are looking at are great options. Arch has a good feel for the people, the towns, the staffs, and he is trying to make a call that he feels good about. He is going to take a long time to get to that point.

Eli and Archie went to Ole Miss, which means that the Manning quarterback legacy will be carried on at a different school.

Arch will join a perennial contender that won a national championship last season if he chooses Georgia. Every year, Alabama has the chance to win a national title.

Texas is a once-elite program that has largely been down on its luck over the past 12 years, but the combination of Manning and Sarkisian could help lead the Longhorns back to prominence.

Manning will be getting the most hype and highly anticipated recruit in decades if he ends up at one of the aforementioned schools.
