Manning called Athens "the best college town I've ever been to," and was on campus to see Georgia's win over South Carolina early last season.

Manning has kept his intentions a private matter and only spoken with the media on a few occasions, but three schools remain the favorite to sign the quarterback.

Texas, Georgia, and Alabama are schools Manning is paying the most attention to, although the player did mention a continued interest in LSU and Florida, as well.

But the Longhorns remain the odds-on favorite to land the quarterback, with a 51 percent chance to sign Manning, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

Georgia places a close second at 44.8 percent, while Alabama trails at 2.1 percent.

Alabama has dropped in the race to sign Manning, according to recruiting analysts, after the Crimson Tide signed 4-star 2023 quarterback prospect Eli Holstein.

Manning is a consensus 5-star prospect and the universal selection as the No. 1 player in the 2023 recruiting class.
