Breaking down where No. 1 recruit Arch Manning could attend college

It will likely be several months before Arch Manning, the top-ranked player in the 2023 recruiting class, makes a decision about where he’ll play college football. Even taking away the implications of his last name and the quarterbacking legacy he comes from, any recruit of Manning’s significance will have speculation and misinformation attached to his name by fan bases and media members hungry to interpret all signals as intentions.

At this point, however, there’s very little actual information coming from the Manning camp to suggest where the recruitment could end. Arch, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, has spent the fall taking unofficial visits to some of the top programs in college football, but the family is going to play it close to the vest. Arch isn't doing a lot of interviews, and he isn’t teasing fan bases with social media posts. In fact, he doesn't even have public Twitter and Instagram accounts.
