It isn’t every day that a college quarterback receives a text and then a call from quarterback legend Archie Manning, and Clemson’s Hunter Helms is one of the few.
Manning, the former Ole Miss and New Orleans Saints quarterback, is the patriarch of the Manning family and a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. He also helps with the annual Manning Passing Academy along with sons Peyton, Eli, and Cooper, and he recently reached out to Helms.
“I was privileged enough to go through the Manning Academy as a camper when I was in the 8th grade, and I believe I made connections with Archie and just kind of kept up with that throughout the years, and he just wanted to lend out an invitation,” Helms told TigerNet.
