“Mr. President, today, Texas A&M University students, faculty, alumni, and fans--known as the 12th Man--are filled with pride and joy over the first Aggie to win the Heisman Trophy since John David Crow's Heisman-season in 1957. Johnny Manziel was named the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner for his incredible accomplishments on the gridiron. Texas A&M finished this season ranked No. 9 nationally with a record of 10 wins and 2 losses including an impressive victory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama over the previously ranked No. 1 University of Alabama, Crimson Tide. At a young age, Johnny Manziel's parents, Paul and Michelle Manziel instilled a discipline to succeed. Their parenting laid the groundwork for his competitiveness and strong work ethic. Raised in Tyler, Texas, and a graduate of Tivy High School in Kerrville, Texas, Johnny was a high school star athlete never willing to back down because of his size or age. Johnny's time at Texas A&M may not be extensive but his freshman year statistics and accomplishments are not short of anything but extraordinary. Johnny is the first freshman in National Collegiate Athletic Association, NCAA, history to ever win the prestigious Heisman Trophy. Johnny also became the first freshman and only the fifth player ever, in NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, FBS, history to achieve 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a season.…”
