On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff is joined by Jackson Groff for a deep dive into the future of college football and the loaded 2027 quarterback class. The guys discuss the growing pressure surrounding Arch Manning and whether the expectations tied to his name are already shaping the draft conversation years in advance.

They also break down the debate between Dante Moore and Arch Manning, evaluating their skill sets, upside, and who could ultimately emerge as the top quarterback prospect. Plus, a look at other rising 2027 QB names to know, including CJ Carr and John Mateer, and how the next wave of quarterback talent is shaping up across the country.

John and Jackson also discuss Notre Dame’s upcoming schedule, the importance of the USC rivalry, and why those marquee matchups still matter in the changing landscape of college football.

And with NIL continuing to dominate the conversation, the guys react to rumors surrounding a potential NIL salary cap and what it could mean for recruiting, roster building, and the future of the sport.

All that and much more on this episode of 3 & Out.
