New Report Says LSU Is In The Mix For 5-Star QB Arch Manning, According To His Father

Just earlier this week it was reported that New Orleans five-star quarterback Arch Manning was narrowing his list of top schools to Texas and Alabama.

Manning's father, Cooper, recently spoke with 247Sports to refute that report and added LSU and Florida in the mix for his son's recruitment.

A recent report that 2023's No. 1 recruit Arch Manning is down to two schools is not true, his father Cooper told 247Sports on Wednesday.

In fact, because of regime changes at a few SEC schools, you can add two more programs to the mix for the five-star quarterback: Florida and nearby LSU.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound Manning still has a keen eye on Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss and Texas, schools he visited during the summer and returned for games during the fall. It's a good bet that those four plus the twosome of LSU and Florida will get Manning on campus in the spring or summer.

Many around LSU have always thought Manning would be heading to college outside of Louisiana but the new coaching staff in Baton Rouge with Brian Kelly and company could make things interesting as his senior season heats up next fall.
