Peyton Manning's son Marshall Manning racks up college football offers as a freshman

Why this is trending

People are searching "Peyton Manning son football offers" because Marshall Manning, Peyton's son, is picking up college football interest while he is still a freshman in high school. According to 247Sports' Brendan Sonnone, by way of People's Anna Lazarus Caplan, Marshall already has offers from Miami, Ohio State, Purdue and Missouri State. That is a big list for a kid who is not even a starter yet.

Marshall is a freshman at Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he is currently the backup quarterback. He has already seen some playing time this season. The family has a lake house in the Chattanooga area, which is part of why Marshall ended up at a Tennessee school after moving from Denver.

What we know and what we don't

We know the four offers that have been reported: Miami, Ohio State, Purdue and Missouri State. We know Marshall is a freshman, that he's currently backing up at Baylor School, and that he's gotten into games already this year.

What we don't know, because it has not been reported, is any timeline for more offers, any ranking or rating for Marshall as a recruit, or any sense of where he's leaning. Recruiting at this age moves fast and loose, and a freshman picking up offers is not the same as a freshman making a decision.

The Manning name carries weight here

Part of why this story is getting attention is the family it's attached to. Archie Manning was an Ole Miss legend and a two-time Pro Bowler. Peyton Manning is a Pro Football Hall of Famer, a five-time NFL MVP, a two-time champion and a seven-time first-team All-Pro with 14 Pro Bowl nods. Eli Manning won two Super Bowls and was named MVP both times, plus four Pro Bowl selections of his own.

Marshall also has a cousin playing right now at the college level: Arch Manning, son of Cooper Manning, is the starting quarterback at Texas. So Marshall has family who've been through every stage of this before, from high school recruiting all the way to the NFL, if he wants advice.

What happens next

For now, Marshall Manning stays a freshman backup at Baylor School, splitting time and picking up snaps where he can. The offers already in hand from Miami, Ohio State, Purdue and Missouri State will likely be the first of more as his high school career plays out. Nothing beyond those four offers and his current role at Baylor School has been reported, so there's no decision or timeline to point to yet.
