The Manning Passing Academy is gearing up for its 30th annual event this year and once again will have a star-studded group of college quarterbacks in attendance.

According to a report from Nola.com‘s Jeff Duncan, this year’s camp will have 1,300 campers, 120 coaches and 40 active college quarterbacks. The report also identified a few of the highest-profile quarterbacks who will be present at Nicholls State University for the event.

Per the report, Texas quarterback Arch Manning, Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr and Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton are all set to be part of the Manning Passing Academy this season, along with numerous other power-conference starters.

That group of 4 quarterbacks is among the current leaders in the preseason Heisman Trophy odds on Kalshi:

According to Duncan’s report, Brendan Sorsby recently decided to cancel plans to attend the event in the wake of his eligibility controversy. Sorsby is set to enter the NFL’s supplemental draft next month.

The 2026 Manning Passing Academy will be held from June 25-28.
