Manning, the 2023 top QB recruit in the nation, has added LSU and Florida to his list of schools to consider, which also includes Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss and Texas, per 247Sports.

Both Florida and LSU have hired new coaches since the end of last season, with the Gators hiring Billy Napier from Louisiana while the Tigers bringing in Brian Kelly from Notre Dame.

Napier and Kelly, as well as Alabama’s Nick Saban, Georgia’s Kirby Smart and Ole Miss’s Lane Kiffin, all visited Isidore Newman High School in New Orleans last month to talk with Manning’s head coach Nelson Stewart and his teammates about the quarterback, per 247.

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian used his allotted trip during the season to watch Manning play in a game.

Manning threw for 1,947 yards and 26 touchdowns to four interceptions and added seven rushing touchdowns as a junior for Isidore Newman last year.

He has taken visits to Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas and Clemson but it is believed that Clemson is no longer under consideration.
