12 'notable' quarterbacks in the 2025 Manning Passing Academy
12 'notable' quarterbacks in the 2025 Manning Passing Academy
This summer, in its annual fashion, the Manning Passing Academy will provide a unique opportunity for college quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends to continue developing their skill sets ahead of the 2025 season. However, as we all know, the quarterbacks attending receive the most coverage on a yearly basis.
With the event set for June 26-29, the Manning family, led by Archie, Peyton, Eli, and Cooper own and operate the camp at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, Louisiana, and for those unaware of the camp's background and overall function, it's not just for quarterbacks to work on their basic fundamentals.
"The Manning's are always the first to arrive and the last to leave. The concept of this camp sprang from the concern that even the most basic fundamental skills of throwing and catching a football were lacking during a youngster's developmental years (grades 8 - 12)."
"It was this concern that motivated the Manning's to bring together some of the most successful and brightest coaches and players from the professional, college, and high school ranks each summer in Louisiana. And although the Manning name has been practically synonymous with the quarterback position for almost 60 years ...it's not just for QBs."
For this article, however, we're focusing on "notable" quarterbacks participating in this year's event, led by several names that are early Heisman Trophy favorites. According to USATOP100, the following are the most notable quarterbacks participating in the 2025 Manning Passing Academy, including eight quarterbacks from the SEC.
For Texas A&M, starting quarterback Marcel Reed has been working diligently this offseason to improve his pocket passing skills, and his participation in the Academy this summer is another step toward becoming a complete quarterback for the Aggies in 2025.
