AL.com reports 5-star prospect Arch Manning will visit Georgia-South Carolina this Saturday and follow that up by taking in Alabama-Ole Miss in two weeks.

Manning is the son of Cooper Manning, who's the brother to former New York Giants star Eli Manning and Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. All three are the sons of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning.

Peyton Manning attended Tennessee while Eli and Archie Manning went to Ole Miss.

But it sounds like Arch Manning might be falling in love with Alabama, which is one of six schools with "warm" interest in the high school junior. The others, according to 247Sports.com, are Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Texas and Ole Miss.

AL.com reports Manning visited Alabama back in June.

"It's just a machine," Manning told 247 Sports this week of the trip. "(Nick) Saban he runs a great program and there's really no loopholes in that, no cutting corners which was amazing. ... I'd love to be in a program like that, that organized with Coach Saban, that would be a dream come true."
