Johnny Manziel

Johnny Manziel could win the Heisman this weekend, but he's already impacting A&M's recruiting efforts.

Johnny Manziel is only a freshman at Texas A&M, but his impact is already being felt on the recruiting front.

As a 32-year Aggie football fan, this is GREAT STUFF. I sense momentum building toward a MNC. It feels similar to what happened with the Red Sox on their way to lifitng the Curse.

Does Johnny have any brothers? Maybe younger future Aggies?

Imagine if we did have the first freshman Heisman winner and then a few years later Tony Brown wins it as the first defensive player... Highly, highly unlikely, just saying that'd be insane

Good write-up Aubrey. I like the angle of this piece. Surprisingly have not seen anything like this yet.

No way. Backfield is way too crowded for him to get the touches he needs to do that. Plus he'll be outshined by Johnny. Don't think 2 players from the same team make it as finalists often if ever.

it;s great to read how excited and upbeat everyone is on all aspects of our new found land in the SEC and our rapid ascent being competitive season one. the future bodes well and brighter than today which almost blinded my eyesight. this os a great, good times feel amongst the Aggies fan base and hard core mainstays. let's go bleed them Sooners then round up a top 10 recruiting class.
it's been a ton of fun and more exciting than anything I could ever imagine. we are lucky, gifted, strong, inspired, focused, and on the same page finally. as a team and coaches we have become one mighty unit.

Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush were both finalist while at USC, two years in a row if I'm not mistaken. *I Think*

correct
great write up , but quick question
what national run?
"Just look at the national run that Baylor got from Robert Griffin III winning the Heisman last year."

I'm not quite sure what you mean by the question? What do you mean when you say, "What national run".
