With National Signing Day and the 2022 recruiting class in the cycle — for every recruit but a few — it’s time to get to know the next wave of elite high school football recruits.
New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman quarterback Arch Manning headlines the class of 2023 as the No. 1 recruit in the nation, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. The top spot belonged to defensive lineman Lebbeus Overton until he reclassified into the class of 2022 after National Signing Day.
