The latest on Manning

In the latest edition of On3’s 2023 rankings released late last month, Arch Manning was unsurprisingly the No. 1 recruit.

He is also the No. 1 recruit in the 2023 On3 Consensus. On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power said Manning still has a firm grasp on the No. 1 spot in the country, which he has held since On3 started ranking 2023 recruits.

“Arch Manning continues to hold down the No. 1 overall spot, also making him the top-ranked quarterback in the cycle,” Power said. “We first saw Manning in person last summer alongside most of the other top 2023 quarterbacks on the college camp circuit. He was the most developed and well-rounded of the group. At 6-foot-4, 215-pounds, Manning has one of the quicker releases we’ve seen from a high school quarterback in recent cycles. His ability to to make translatable, high-level plays from within the pocket and outside of structure. He’s an accurate passer to all levels. Manning also has shown the ability to create some big gains with his legs, rushing for around 400 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior at New Orleans Isidore Newman.”

Manning currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $1.6 million, which ranks fifth among all amateur football and basketball players and No. 1 among high school football recruits. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
