OT - Warning for Utah vs. Michigan 2014: QB Connor Manning, the Next Matt Barkley?

Submitted by markusr2007 on

In 2014, when Michigan next plays Utah, the Utes might have a sophomore or RS Freshman QB named Connor Manning from Lake Forest, CA (Orange County) at the helm.  

Manning currently plays for El Toro High School (Lake Forest, CA). As a junior QB last year, Manning broke Matt Barkley's single season passing record with 4,219 yards and 41 TDs.

Last night El Toro destroyed Huntington Beach 47-24 for their season opener:

Manning's game stats: 454 yards passing, 44 of 66 for 6 TDs.

That's one hell of a start to the season.

Manning is only 6-2, and "only a 3-star" at Scout, but he's probably one of those local SoCal kids Hoke and Borges would have recruited at SD State. See his offer list.
