Matt Barkley, Tyler Bray, Logan Thomas and Tyler Wilson were among the QBs invited to the Manning Passing Academy, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

The invitation-only Academy takes place at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La. in July, and the full list of invites has not been officially released. However, it's little surprise those four are expected to attend -- they are the top-four rated quarterbacks for 2013 in the early Top 750 ratings released by NFLDraftScout.com.

The college quarterbacks will serve as intructors for youth athletes who attend the camp, while also being tutored themselves by Peyton Manning and Eli Manning.

Bray, a junior at Tennessee, has met Peyton Manning before when the Volunteers legend has visited the campus. As a sophomore, Bray broke Manning's UT record for most consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass.
