"Johnny Football” Manziel is the polarizing quarterback for the Texas A&M Aggies. He was nationally recruited out of high school as a dual-threat quarterback. In 2012, Manziel debuted for the Aggies as a red shirt freshman in Kevin Sumlin's Air Raid offense.  It was A&M's first season in the South Eastern Conference (SEC). Manziel has broken numerous NCAA Division I FBS and SEC records which include becoming the first freshman and fifth player in NCAA history to pass for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season. At the end of the regular season, he became the first freshman to win the Manning Award, the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award and the coveted Heisman Trophy awarded to the best college football player in the country.
