Marshall Manning may follow a familiar path in his football career. He has transferred to the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee — not far from the University of Tennessee, where his father, Peyton Manning, played.
Marshall will be the backup quarterback this season to Keegan Croucher, a 2027 recruit committed to Ole Miss. The 15-year-old Manning appears headed for the starting lineup next fall.
Watch him — better yet, close your eyes and listen — explain his role this season. It’s almost like listening to any of the commercials the Indianapolis Colts legend starred in over the years.
“It’s hard, having to work all summer and all year,” Marshall said, “but maybe not get to go on the field. I feel like it’s helped me grow so much.”
