Arch Manning is easily one of the most prized recruits in recent college football history. Grandson of Saints legend Archie Manning, and nephew of Super Bowl champs Peyton and Eli Manning; Cooper Manning’s son has nearly every top program in the country knocking down his door trying to recruit him.
But according to On3 Sports’ Recruiting Prediction Machine, four schools have risen above the rest to land Arch Manning in their team’s colors.

Per On3 Recruits, Manning has a 35.6 percent chance of landing with Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide. Followed by: Texas (31.4), defending national champion Georgia (27.2) and Ole Miss (3.0).
Alabama is the current favorite. But as many fans know, things can change quickly on the recruiting trail.
The five-star QB is widely-regarded as the No. 1 overall prospect in the nation. Recently, Manning’s coach Nelson Stewart explained that Arch is still “very open” when it comes to the process of choosing a school.

“I think he’s still very open, but he said he wants to go to practices and sit in meetings,” Stewart said, via ESPN.com. “He really is a meat and potatoes kid, he wants to go see the schools, he’s not about the fluff. I think he’s pretty locked in with what he wants to do, but he’s not one of those guys that’s going to announce a list or anything.”
Adding, “He’s being really thorough. He’s going to get through this round and see where it is. He definitely doesn’t have a timeline.”
So it looks like we’ll have to stay tuned.
