"Obviously, I have a big last name, but I keep it more about the team,' Manning told Rivals this week. "Winning the team over was my biggest goal to getting the starting job. It was about the seniors; it was their last year and they were all really nice to me because I knew all of them. That made it more comfortable and more laid-back. That's why we had some success last year."

"I just don't like to have the attention on myself," Manning said. "I want to focus on my team. I just like being a regular high school kid. I'm just one of the guys on the team."

"There's a lot that goes into (recruiting)," Manning said. "For a quarterback, it's all about the best fit. We're not going into it much yet. I want to enjoy my high school experience and that's what I'm doing right now. Wherever I go, I know they'll support me. Who knows ... they might not have college football this year, so anything can happen."

"I liked my ability to escape the pocket and I was pretty accurate last year," he began. "This year, I'm working on arm strength and getting bigger and I want to run more. This year, we have more weapons. I want to spread the ball out more and not just focus on (graduated senior and Dartmouth signee) Jarmone (Sutherland) ... Our offense can be explosive and hopefully, even with Corona, people can come in and watch."
