Manuel, at 6’9 and around 300 pounds, just completed his third season in Fayetteville as a redshirt sophomore. In total, he appeared in 10 contests while with the ‘Hogs. Most of that came during this past season as he appeared in nine of their games with four of them being starts.

Manuel played high school football at Beau Chene (LA) where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 1,049 overall recruit in the 2021 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
