Arizona Wildcats Heisman hopeful Khalil Tate is one of the counselors invited to take part in the Manning Passing Academy this weekend at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, La.
The Manning Passing Academy is conducted by the Manning family of quarterbacks — father Archie and sons Peyton and Eli — and is considered by coaches and scouts as one of the more prestigious in the country.
The academy tweeted a picture of Tate with Peyton Manning looking on intently with the words “Heisman buzz” associated with the Arizona quarterback and others who are counselors there:
