Channeling his Hall of Fame father Peyton Manning, Marshall threw a completion on his first snap

Marshall is the backup quarterback at the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tenn.

The latest iteration of Manning quarterback has entered the chat.

Marshall Manning, the 15-year-old son of Peyton, made his high school debut on Thursday, Aug. 20 and resembled his Hall of Famer father.

In Marshall’s first appearance with the Baylor School (Chattanooga, Tenn.), he was inserted into the game behind starting quarterback and Ole Miss commit Keegan Croucher in the second quarter against Brentwood Academy (Nashville), which was broadcast nationally on ESPN2.

In his first varsity snap, the freshman signal-caller — wearing No. 16, just as his father did at Tennessee — launched a pass to junior receiver Antwaun Adams for eight yards and a first down, according to The Tennessean.

Manning’s action was limited to a few snaps in the game, but a recent viral video showed that he was ready for some high school football.

In the video from April, Manning looked like he inherited all of the best attributes of his dad plus his uncle Eli Manning and grandfather Archie Manning — and he seems to be following quickly in the footsteps of his cousin, University of Texas star quarterback Arch Manning.

Marshall showed off his speed and accuracy in the montage of reps. At one point, the teenager went long for an impressive touchdown-in-the-making.

Peyton and his wife Ashley’s only son — who has a twin sister, Mosley — transferred from Denver, Colo. to the Baylor School last year before the eighth grade, The Tennessean reported at the time.

The youngest of the Manning quarterbacks, Marshall also seemingly shares his father and uncles’ trademark sense of humor.

In 2021, when Peyton coached Marshall’s flag football team called the Bills, the younger Manning opted to wear “J. Allen” on his back. 

“Tell me how to interpret that,” Peyton joked to Bills quarterback on a ManningCast episode that year. “And would you please tell him that’s not a nice way to treat his father?”
