Marshall Manning may be part of football royalty, but he’s not a starter for his high school team just yet.
Manning, the son of NFL legend Peyton Manning, is a freshman enrolled at the Baylor School in Tennessee.
But he’s behind rising senior and Ole Miss commit Keegan Croucher, who is ranked as a four-star recruit by 247 Sports.
Thus, he’ll have to bide his time before getting the starting nod.
“Marshall Manning is our backup quarterback this year,” Baylor head coach Erik Kimrey said on the “Villamarzos Voice” podcast.
“He’ll be a freshman. So, we’re excited about him.”
Of course, Marshall comes from a legendary lineage of quarterbacks, as his dad and uncle Eli were both two-time Super Bowl winners, while his grandpa Archie also enjoyed a lengthy career under center.
Marshall’s cousin, Arch, is also expected to head to the NFL after another season in college at Texas and could be in play for the No. 1 overall pick in 2027.
The newest quarterback to come from the Manning clan has joined an extremely successful program that went 12-0 and won a state championship last year in Tennessee.
Marshall wowed fans back in May as he showed off his arm strength during a training session.
In the clip, in which Marshall worked with the company QB Country, he could be seen scrambling and moving outside of the pocket as he made some impressive throws.
Marshall previously attended Kent Denver School in Colorado.
