Tigers. It was a tough test for Newman High against a Many defense featuring multiple four-star recruits, including USC commit Tackett Curtis and undecided senior Tylen Singleton. That defense put a lot of pressure on Manning's shoulders, which saw the nephew of NFL greats Eli and Peyton Manning fail to complete a pass until the second quarter. Manning was able to get the offense clicking - passing for two touchdowns - but it wasn't enough in the long run. No. 1 recruit in the Class of '23 Arch Manning suffered his first loss of the season Friday night The nephew of NFL legends Peyton and Eli Manning tried, but couldn't keep the season perfect His efforts over the past few weeks earned the Louisiana high school football powerhouse an undefeated record. But against their toughest opponent of the season, they faltered. Arch committed to the University of Texas this summer, joining a Longhorns program that has been searching for their next great quarterback. Manning is the highest rated quarterback and the first no. 1 overall recruit to sign for the Longhorns since 2002 - when Vince Young moved to Austin. Arch is the son of Cooper Manning - the oldest son of former NFL quarterback and Manning family patriarch Archie. Cooper was a highly recruited wide receiver who tore it up at Newman High School while middle brother Peyton was quarterback. Cooper was recruited to go to the University of Mississippi - also known as Ole Miss - where he never played a snap of college football. Before the season began, he was diagnosed with a spinal condition that ended his playing career. Arch was heavily recruited by Alabama and Georgia - with schools like Boston College, Notre Dame, LSU, Florida, and Miami in the mix. Tennessee - Peyton's alma mater - and Ole Miss - Cooper and Eli's alma mater - also tried getting Arch to commit. Instead, he chose to play at Texas - a school that is on the verge of moving to the SEC within the coming years. After a busy recruitment process, Manning will be attending the University of Texas next year Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
