Johnny Manziel announced this morning that he would transfer to the University of Texas for the 2013 spring semester.

In the surprising announcement, Manziel said that after winning the Heisman Trophy and leading Texas A&M to only their third 11 win season in history capped off by a record setting Cotton Bowl performance, he had accomplished all he could as a quarterback and now would fulfill his boyhood dream of becoming a Longhorn and playing defensive back for Mack Brown and Duane Akina.

Mack Brown said he was excited to have Manziel who he thought would be a really really good defensive back and this gives us a chance to be really really good in 2014. Brown also said there was the added bonus of being able to train Manziel as the emergency backup quarterback in case of injuries.
