What we’re hearing: CJ Carr is ‘unbelievable’, Jimbo Fisher wants back in

Welcome to a brand-new USA TODAY Sports feature, which intends to carve its space with “what we’re hearing” into what you cannot afford to not be reading.

Coming throughout this college football season, USA TODAY Sports’ college insiders will canvas the sport’s landscape — head coaches, coordinators, athletics administrators, agents, player representatives and more — to bring you the behind-the-scenes news.

CJ Carr isn’t an unknown. Arch Manning, seemingly, has never not been known.

Well, he once sat upon a golden throne. Literally. Check the recruiting photos.

Moore was committed to Notre Dame — the betting co-favorite alongside Ohio State to capture college football’s national title this season — during his high school recruitment. He ultimately signed with UCLA before transferring to Oregon.

Manning’s Texas Longhorns, Carr’s Fighting Irish and Moore’s Ducks all are consensus Top 5 teams, with Oregon (2), Texas (4) and Notre Dame (5) bunched together in the US LBM Coaches Poll.

Moore is a past participant in the famed Manning Passing Academy; Arch Manning and Carr participated this year.

USA TODAY Sports spoke with a head coach of a camp participant and a quarterback at the camp to get the early skinny on the Carr-Manning debate.
