Arch Manning is in play.
Dare you dream, Longhorn Nation?
Does Peyton Manning do commercials? Of course you dream. Arch Manning could be the savior that turns this whole thing around.
The progeny of the first family of NFL quarterbacks is coming back to Austin, Texas to visit the Longhorns campus for the second time since last season. On Saturday, 247Sports reported that Peyton and Eli’s nephew is making official visits to Georgia and Alabama in the first couple of weeks of June and will come to Austin June 18.
It goes without saying that the five-star recruit from Isidore Newman (New Orleans) would be welcome on any college campus in the country, but the fact that he is visiting the Longhorns early in the process should have folks in Austin excited. If anything, Texas is on the radar.
The Mannings are an SEC family. Pop-Pop Archie, dad Cooper and uncle Eli all played at Ole Miss while Peyton played at Tennessee. He has been spotted in the stands at Georgia games with his dad sporting Bulldogs gear and is obviously familiar with old family haunts in Oxford and down the street in Baton Rouge.
