Texas A&M releases hype video featuring Johnny Manziel for Alabama matchup
The Texas A&M Aggies have a big matchup this weekend with the Alabama Crimson Tide. And on Friday night, they dropped an epic hype video narrated by an Aggie legend. One that turned in one of the most memorable performances in Texas A&M football history against the Crimson Tide several years ago, en route to winning the Heisman Trophy. Check it out below as Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M football legend, narrates this week’s video.
This year’s version of the Aggies unfortunately has no Johnny Manziel trotting out there on Saturday. They recently lost their star quarterback, Conner Weigman, to a season-ending ankle injury. Max Johnson will be taking the snaps under center this weekend for Texas A&M.
Manziel threw for 7,820 yards, 63 touchdowns, and just 22 interceptions while completing 68.9% of his throws during his time at Texas A&M. Another season in college and everything could have been different, both on and off the field.
In 2012, he brought home the Heisman Trophy after he became the first freshman and only the fifth player in college football history to pass for 3,000 and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. He racked up 4,600 total yards, surpassing the likes of Cam Newton and Tim Tebow, both former Heisman Trophy winners. Manziel also won numerous other awards, including the SEC Freshman of the Year.
Texas A&M finished with 11 wins in 2012, tied for the second most in program history. Taking down Alabama in Tuscaloosa was an iconic moment in college football during the Aggies’ first-ever season in the SEC. He finished that game with 345 total yards and two touchdowns.
