The 2026 Manning Passing Academy attendees have finally been revealed, just one week away from the start of the event. Texas‘ Arch Manning and Ole Miss‘ Trinidad Chambliss headline the star-studded list of collegiate quarterbacks.

“Thirty years is hard to imagine,” Archie Manning, the founder of the Manning Passing Academy, told Nola.com. “When we started it, we just thought we’d have a nice little regional camp, a Louisiana-Alabama-Mississippi kinda thing. We never imagined it would turn into what it is today.
“I don’t think there’s ever been as many good college quarterbacks as there are this year. We had more requests than we could honor.”
Nola.com first reported the list of names set to attend. On3’s Wilson Alexander has since confirmed.

Per nola.com, former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby was planning to attend the event before becoming embroiled in his betting scandal. Just this week, Texas Tech and Sorsby decided to part ways as his eligibility status had brought mass criticism to the program from across the sport. Sorsby will enter the Supplemental Draft instead of playing college football next season.
Players such as Indiana‘s Josh Hoover, Miami‘s Darian Mensah, LSU‘s Sam Leavitt, Oregon‘s Dante Moore, and South Carolina‘s Lanorris Sellers were reportedly extended invites from the MPA, but were unable to attend for one reason or the other.
“We’re constantly trying to upgrade the camp, but in a way, we do a lot of the same things we did in 1996,” Archie Manning continued. “(Friday Night Lights) is always a fun competition, and we are working hard to make it a great show.
“The camp is always one of my favorite times of the years because I get to see my boys and my grandkids. In 30 years, none of them has ever missed a single minute or left before the camp is over. That means a lot to me.”
The Manning Passing Academy starts on Thursday, June 25, and runs through Sunday, June 28.
