Welcome to the Aggies Daily Blitz by DSP Media in partnership with AllAggies.com.

Manziel will always and forever be remembered as one of the most entertaining and unpredictable players in college football. He’ll also be remembered as the first-ever freshman to win the coveted Heisman Trophy, celebrating college football’s best player, and only the second Aggie to do so.
