Watch: Kirby Smart looks on as No. 1 prospect Arch Manning breaks off TD run

Isidore Newman quarterback Arch Manning is the No. 1 player in the 2023 class, per 247Sports.

He also happens to be the grandson of NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Archie Manning and the nephew of NFL greats Eli and Peyton Manning.

Arch’s background and playing ability has been garnering attention from the top programs in the country, including Georgia football.

UGA head coach Kirby Smart took a trip to Louisiana to watch Newman and Manning take on Berkeley Prep on Friday night.

Manning showed Smart a glimpse of just how athletic he really is with this 68 yard touchdown run.

The top 2023 prospect finished with 200 yards through the air and another score, completing 16 of 32 pass attempts on the night.

Manning said he was impressed by his visit to Georgia to watch the Bulldogs take on Arkansas in Athens on Oct. 2.
