Marshall Manning named backup quarterback at Tennessee's Baylor School

Marshall Manning, the 15‑year‑old son of Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, enrolled as a freshman at the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, joining the class of 2030. Head coach Erik Kimrey confirmed that Marshall will serve as the backup quarterback behind four‑star recruit Keegan Croucher, who is ranked No. 11 among the 2027 quarterback prospects by 247Sports.

The Baylor School, a state‑champion program ranked No. 12 in the MaxPreps 2026 preseason poll, is known for producing top college talent. Marshall, listed at 5‑foot‑9 and 150 lb, comes from a lineage that includes his father and uncle Eli (both two‑time Super Bowl winners), grandfather Archie, and cousin Arch, who is expected to start at Texas in 2026 and could be a future No. 1 NFL draft pick.
