Just being named Arch Manning and hailing from one of the most recognizable names in football only gets you so far. The Isidore Newman (New Orleans, La.) quarterback has still had to go out and earn the respect that he has been given, and he's certainly done so since his freshman year with the Greenies. This week, the top-ranked recruit in the country looks to continue his undefeated season with Newman when his Greenies host the 1-1 Benton Tigers (Benton, La.) at 8 p.m. ET.

Newman is coming off of an impressive 42-20 win against Riverside Academy last weekend after opening the season with a 35-14 win over Hahnville. Benton lost last week to Texas High School (Texarkana), but finished last season 7-3 before being eliminated in the second round of the 5A state playoffs.

What you need to know about Arch Manning

Just as his last name suggests, Manning is the newest QB prodigy from a long line of passers in his family. His grandfather is former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and his famous uncles are Peyton and Eli Manning, who have won four combined Super Bowls after successful college careers at Tennessee and Ole Miss, respectively. Arch Manning is the top prospect in the 247Sports 2023 Recruiting Rankings and committed to play for Texas over the summer, spurning Alabama and Georgia.

Last week against Riverside Academy, Manning threw four touchdown passes as part of a 42-20 win over the Rebels. The striking difference between Arch Manning and his well-known uncles is his ability to extend or create big plays with his feet. For the second consecutive week, Manning completed a highlight reel-worthy deep pass on a corner route while rolling to his right away from chasing defenders. He also ran for a third-quarter touchdown against Riverside Academy to put the Greenies up by two scores on Friday. Follow Arch Manning at MaxPreps.

Newman vs. Benton preview

Since his breakout freshman season, Manning's production had leveled-out slightly over the last two years. However, this season he has been a man on a mission, and has turned in top performances in each of his first two games. Last week, he completed 86% of his passes for over 220 yards in addition to his scoring plays. Benton showed how vulnerable it can be against the pass in its loss last week, when it gave up nearly 400 passing yards to Texas High.

Benton showed some resilience after going down early, by putting up some points after making a switch at quarterback from Gray Walters to Jeff King. However, the Tigers just didn't have any answers on defense, after they also allowed Texas High to put up 155 rushing yards last Friday. Regardless of who starts at QB for Benton between Walters and King, Pearce Russell comes into the season as the Tigers' top threat at receiver.

Newman has some pass-catching talent of its own, starting with wide receiver Kai Donaldson. The senior likely could have garnered the interest he has from NCAA Division I programs on his own, as he was active on the spring camp circuit in the offseason, but clearly benefits from having Manning throwing him passes on Friday nights. Otherwise, the Greenies offense features three-star tight end and fellow Texas commit Will Randle, who is also one of Newman's top players on its defensive line.
