Even though he’s still in middle school Eli and Peyton Manning’s nephew, Arch Manning, looks like a football prodigy.

A video posted on Twitter shows the 13-year-old, the son of Eli and Peyton’s brother Cooper, slinging passes like a pro.

Named for his grandfather Archie, the middle schooler plays football at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, the same school Eli, Peyton, and Cooper all played at in the 1990s.

Manning tossed three touchdown passes to capture a middle school title and championship trophy for Newman as a seventh-grader.

Newman varsity football coach Nelson Stewart can’t wait until Manning is old enough to play with the big boys.

“Nowadays with social media, and what’s out there, obviously the interest has started. As we say, he’s still an eighth-grader,” Stewart told Fox 8 WVUE. “Obviously we’re excited to have him. I think as hard as he’s working, and the things I’ve seen, he’ll be here in a hurry, we’re a year away … He’s got two good uncles that have worked on some footwork, and throwing with him a little bit. He does look sound. If you look at his mechanics and his release, he’s further ahead then most we’ve had. I think he looks the part right now.”
