Manning, who is entering his first season as the full-time starter at Texas, will join father Cooper, uncles Peyton and Eli and grandfather Archie at the 29th iteration of the event.

Manning was a counselor last year along with Quinn Ewers.

Last season in 10 games with two starts, Manning was 61-for-90 for 939 yards and nine touchdowns over two interceptions. He also rushed 25 times for 108 yards and four scores.

Former Texas high school football stars making their way to MPA include SMU’s Kevin Jennings, Virginia’s Chandler Morris, Oklahoma’s John Mateer, Arkansas’ Taylen Green, Texas Tech’s Behren Morton, Oregon’s Austin Novasad, Clemson’s Cade Klubnik, and Baylor’s Sawyer Robertson.

SEC quarterbacks include Manning, Green, Mateer, LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier, South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers, Mississippi State’s Blake Shapen, Ole Miss’ Austin Simmons, Alabama’s Ty Simpson, and Georgia’s Gunner Stockton.

More names could pop up in the weeks leading up to the event.

In 2023, the MPA was the first public event following Manning’s commitment to Texas.
