Five Big 12 Quarterbacks Heading to Manning Passing Academy

The Manning Passing Academy, a combine for some of college football’s top players, has released the list of attendees for the 2025 camp.

The group is made up of 27 different passers from around the country, five of whom are current members of the Big 12 Conference.

Manning Passing Academy attendees are listed below in alphabetical order by last name.

ROCCO BECHT – IOWA STATE

One of the most consistent presences in the Big 12 Conference, Iowa State’s Rocco Becht has solidified himself as one of the nation’s best. His moxy and toughness are two of his best traits, but his clutch gene is one of the biggest aspects of his game as a passer. Becht enters 2025 as a top-five quarterback in the Big 12 and will be fighting for the top spot with some of the nation’s best.

AVERY JOHNSON – KANSAS STATE

A premier dual-threat signal caller in college football, Kansas State’s Avery Johnson has all the tools necessary to take a massive step forward in 2025. At the Manning Passing Academy, Johnson’s throwing ability will be put to the test, as one area that needed some improvement at times last fall. He posted more than 3300 all-purpose yards and 32 touchdowns.

SAM LEAVITT – ARIZONA STATE

Widely considered the league’s top passer, Sam Leavitt made a name for himself in a big way at Arizona State. The freshman quarterback led the Sun Devils to the College Football Playoff in his first season at the helm, tossing 2885 yards and a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 24-6.

BEHREN MORTON – TEXAS TECH

Texas Tech’s Behren Morton has shown flashes throughout his career in Lubbock, but injuries have plagued his long-term ability. He steps into an important position as a senior, leading one of the Big 12’s best offences, on paper. If he can stay healthy, Joey McGuire will find himself in a great spot this fall.

SAWYER ROBERTSON – BAYLOR

Robertson’s name has already appeared on several NFL mock drafts, with the vast majority listing him as a first-round talent. Baylor took a massive step forward due to his development and poise inside the pocket. His 82.9 QBR positioned him with the nation’s seventh-best number.

The camp is set to take place from June 26th to 29th in Thibodaux, Louisiana.
