“Bronny James and Arch Manning are part of On3’s most valuable athletes”: Peyton Manning’s nephew and LeBron James’ son rank in the top most valuable college and high school athletes

Bronny James and Arch Manning are two of the most popular athletes in high school right now, and they’re two of the most valuable ones as well.

Manning is currently the number one high school quarterback prospect in the country, and his college decision is going to be something to follow for a while. The young quarterback will look to join his uncles Eli and Peyton Manning in having successful Hall of Fame level careers as expectations are already sky-high for the high schooler.

Bronny James has his own expectations to meet, being the son of LeBron James and all that. Bronny is a top 50 or 40 prospect in the country, but simply being LeBron’s son has elevated his status beyond his ranking.

Bronny coming in at number one is a little expected given LeBron’s influence, but he is also one of the most sought after guards in the country. Bronny plays as a combo guard and could possibly join the Texas Longhorns, Duke, North Carolina, or UCLA.

Manning on the other hand is set to join football powerhouses in Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee (where Peyton Manning went), or Ole Miss (where his other uncle Eli Manning went).
