Opinion: Why recruitment of Arch Manning might not be hopeless for Tennessee Vols football

A Tennessee Vols fan stretches out on a beach recliner, takes a sip from his favorite drink and relaxes to the rhythmic sound of the waves. Life is good.

In fact, it’s so good that anything seems possible. A football fantasy comes to mind – a Manning-size football fantasy.

“What if Arch Manning signed with the Vols?” he wonders.

Manning is preparing for his junior season at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans. He’s the No. 1 pro-style quarterback in the 2023 class, according to 247Sports. But he’s already overshadowing the top 2022 recruits.
