The Allstate Sugar Bowl has announced this week’s Manning Award Futures, recognizing four local high school quarterbacks who turned in outstanding performances during play on September 11-12 of the high school football season.
The recognition is called “Futures” because these high school stars are potential future candidates for the Manning Award, which the Allstate Sugar Bowl created in 2004 to honor the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning and which recognizes the top collegiate quarterback in the nation each year.
Since the Future’s inception in 2020, the Sugar Bowl has recognized 133 quarterbacks from 58 different high schools.
