Manning is one of four five-star quarterbacks from the Class of 2023 along with Malachi Nelson of Los Alamitos (Calif.), Dante Moore of King (Detroit) and Nico Iamaleava of Warren (Downey, Calif.).
Nelson and Iamaleava are two of four quarterbacks featured from California. Jaden Rashada of Pittsburg and Pierce Clarkson of St. John Bosco (Bellflower) join the five-star signal-callers on the list.
Louisiana was the only other state to have multiple quarterbacks featured as Eli Holstein of Zachary joins Manning. Alabama, Georgia, Michigan and Texas all have one QB featured.
