Recruiting genius? Lane Kiffin's only follow on Instagram was Arch Manning

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin found a subtle way to recruit the most coveted high school quarterback in recent memory. Internet sleuths noticed Tuesday that Kiffin followed only one person on Instagram: Isidore Newman High School quarterback Arch Manning.

Arch is the son of Cooper Manning. Who is Cooper Manning? He's the son of Archie Manning, and the brother of Peyton and Eli Manning. That's quite the pedigree for Arch, which explains why he's already being heavily recruited by colleges.

It also explains why Kiffin would follow Manning on Instagram.

Kiffin acknowledged his tactic, retweeting an observation that referenced his Instagram strategy.
