Arch does have a connection to the school in case you’re wondering.

Arch Manning’s mother, Ellen Heidingsfelder, and aunt, Ashley Thompson, who is married to Peyton Manning, graduated from the University of Virginia. Arch’s sister, May, is also a student at UVA. Plenty of family connections for Arch at UVA.

Peyton Manning even gave a speech at UVA’s Valedictory Exercises in 2014, even throwing a few football passes to some of the graduates on the Lawn.

Arch Manning is one of the most sought-after recruits in recent college football history.

It should be fun to watch him narrow down his choices, and for one lucky school, it will be amazing.
