Marshall Manning, son of former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, took the field for his first official high school football action earlier this month when his team, the Red Raiders (Baylor School, Chattanooga, TN), scrimmaged against the Wolves (Buford High School, Buford, GA).
Asked by USA TODAY’s national high school sports reporter, Ansley Gavlak, what he is most looking forward to in his four years of high school, Manning said, “Playin ball, having fun, having fun with my friends, being with family and just playing football.”
The young quarterback has turned heads in training camps and junior leagues, but it’s his post-game interview that has Twitter/X users talking now. Watch the full video on X below:
