SportsBetting.ag has opened a trio of prop bets around Manning
since the consensus No. 1 prospect in the Class of 2023
committed to the Longhorns last week.
The potential action begins with the five-star prospect being
offered at +450 to forgo a redshirt season and -190 to start
immediately as a true freshman.
Manning chose Texas over a host of powerhouse programs including
Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Clemson. The expectation is that the
6-foot-4 New Orleans native will be given an immediate
opportunity to take the reins of the Longhorns' offense.
Manning is the nephew of former NFL greats Peyton and Eli
Manning and the grandson of Archie Manning. He is the son of
Cooper Manning.
Arch Manning threw for 26 touchdowns and ran for seven more as a
junior at Isidore Newman High School. He could be the starting
quarterback for Texas in 2025, which would be his junior season
and the year the Longhorns enter the SEC.
Manning's commitment led to a recruiting surge for Longhorns
coach Steve Sarkisian.
Seven players have committed to the program since Manning's
announcement, including five on Sunday alone. Five-star
defensive back Derek Williams added his commitment on Monday.
"That kind of shocked me," Williams told ESPN of Manning's
decision. "I knew (Manning) was (likely) going there, but I was
just making sure. That impacted my decision going (to Texas)."
Texas has vaulted from the mid-30s to the No. 3-ranked
recruiting class for 2023 by 247Sports in the past week.
"This has been a great run," Sarkisian said Monday, per ESPN.
"Hopefully it's not over. I don't think it is.
"We may have a few more to go here this week. Hopefully we can
continue to capture some of the momentum that has been created."
