Robert Manning brings freshman upside and winning pedigree to Bucknell’s QB room
In the 2026 season, freshman quarterback Robert Manning enters Bucknell at 6-1, 190 pounds with a strong high-school résumé: he was a two-time All-SCC pick, Sports Illustrated CT Offensive Player of the Year, and Fairfield Prep’s all-time leader in passing yards (4,151) and passing touchdowns (52). He also owns the school records for completions, total touchdowns, and TD-to-INT ratio, which points to efficient decision-making rather than just empty volume. For a team needing a poised, competitive distributor with captain-level leadership, Manning looks like a smart developmental fit with real long-term upside.
