Really? He was rated as a 3 (out of 5) star quarterback according to rivals.com, so I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about. Then again, I think Colt McCoy was only rated as a 3 star coming out of high school, and I think their ratings aren't always that accurate anyway. I hope we get him.
As far as a kicker, I think there's a kid named Taylor Bertolet coming to A&M next year, and he's supposed to be one of the best kickers in the nation.

the knock on him is his height, which was probably the same negative that colt had. some scouts just are not that impressed with 6'1" quarterbacks. tell that to drew brees.
..and i'll take any kicker. the current one is going to cost us a game this year IMO.

lmao antlers. kerrville is an awesome town and it seems everyone there is behind the local sports (radio broadcasts, etc.), but why do you name the team the antlers??
thats like that one team named the buttons...based on a rattlesnake tail.

funny you should mention the buttons.... that was my high school. the reasoning was that we were under the university of st. mary's and since they were the rattlers we were baby rattlers. somehow out of that came the use of the term 'buttons'. it sure was funny to show up for a game to see an opponent, that had not played us before, go crashing through their poster that had a picture of a shirt with buttons on it and some tag saying something like "rip the buttons". can't speak for the antlers though. but it is a great town.

Lets just say he's a Vince Young style QB. Just look up his stats last week vs Madison. I was there......amazing
The only problem on him, like someone already said, is that he's kinda short for a College QB. He is also a very good WR(UT actually wanted to offer him for WR, but he only wants to play QB)

Techs michael brewer is a lot better, and David Ash
So that would be third best among your rivals

Just saw Johnny Manziel play the other week against Madison. Best QB I've ever seen in person at the high school level, I was amazed. Not a big dude, but he was very fast, very strong, and he could place the ball where he liked. Had a hell of a game.

6'1 180? doubt it. looks like he's 5'11 170 at most.
i remember back in high school the coach would place our weights atleast 15 pounds heavier and 3 inches taller. good times.
dude has thrown for almost 1000 yards in 2 weeks against madison and steele. see how he fares against lake travis this week.

This guy is a beast. I pray he chooses A&M. Would be a perfect replacement for Jerrod.
kid played great again but they came up short to travis 37-33. manziel accounted for 5 TDs . he spent his 3rd week in a row at college station and is supposedly going to make his decision at the end of this week (apparently between a&m and oregon).
it actually sounded it like if texas had made a bigger push for him or had indicated he would be their QB that he would have gone with them, but it seems as if texas may not have given him the assurances he was looking for. based on that, i would not totally rule out texas either.

I think it was said before but Texas wanted to turn him into a full time WR and the kid only wants to play QB. Spending 3 straight weekends in college station is very interesting.

kind of an odd statement from a tech fan. tech has often had 3 star players perform at a great level.
more to the point, if the kid was in the greater houston area, or from the dallas metroplex region, he'd be considered 4 star. one can't question kerrville's schedule. manziel has racked up close to 1,500 yards against madison, steele and the 3 time defending state champ.

no need to overreact blake. i just was pointing out that you can get great players from the middle ranks as well. dat nguyen was not even a 3 star player and he turned out to be the most decorated linebacker in the country. the guy is a local player and he has shown the ability to play big in big games.

I'm well aware of what you were pointing out. If anything, you are overreacting to some simple observations.
If you feel the need, you should absolutely go nuts over this guy.
It's a damn shame that Michael Brewer was injured for Lake Travis against Tivy or you would have gotten to see what a 4 star QB recruit looks like.
Again, whatever floats your excitement boat. :tu

He is somewhat underrated on Rivals and that mainly has to do with his height. He has all the great qualities that make a great college quarterback. He will eventually be a starting qb wherever he decides to take his game IMO.

Tivy QB Manziel switches to A&M
By Lorne Chan - Express-News
Manziel had a 90-minute conversation with Aggies coach Mike Sherman after A&M's Sept. 11 victory against Louisiana Tech, and said the crowd at Saturday's 27-20 victory against Florida International helped sway him to the Aggies.
“The thing for me this past weekend was that I had always grown up a die-hard Longhorns fan,” Manziel said. “I didn't understand how great the A&M fan base was until 80,000 of them were rallying the players and really making a difference.”
As a junior, Manziel was the Express-News' 2009 football offensive player of the year and 2009-10 athlete of the year. He led the Antlers to the Class 4A state semifinals for the second straight year last season, accounting for 54 TDs (19 passing, 33 rushing, two receiving).
Manziel said he may also play baseball at Texas A&M.
Until the Aggies offered him a scholarship, most of his offers at the quarterback position were out-of-state. After he returned from College Station on Sunday, he met with Tivy coach Mark Smith. They listed his priorities in order as faith, family, football and friends. The list made it clear that A&M was his choice.
He may have just switched schools, but Manziel said he is firm in his commitment this time.
“There's absolutely no chance any other school will come into the picture,” Manziel said. “I am an Aggie.”

although it should make for fun UT/aggie games, UT shouldve just recruited him for quarterback and told him he needed to compete for the position. let him work his butt off, and if he can't get the job done, move him to receiver.

Even Malcolm Brown, the top-ranked running back in the nation, says Kerrville Tivy quarterback Johnny Manziel is playing at a higher level than everybody else right now.
Manziel did it again against Brown and No. 3 Steele on Friday, accounting for 558 yards and eight total touchdowns in a 54-45 victory at Antler Stadium.
“It was crazy — he actually puts up video-game stats every single night,” Brown said. “Johnny is awesome. Everybody knows it.”
Manziel threw for 428 yards and six TDs and rushed for 130 yards and two scores, accounting for all but 14 of Sub-5A No. 1 Tivy's 572 total yards.
He didn't need the state-record 75 passing attempts he had last week in a 39-34 victory against Madison.
Manziel wowed the crowd of about 7,000 fans with his accuracy instead, hitting 34 of 42 passes with a run of 15 straight completions in the first half.
It topped Brown's career-high 353 rushing yards and four TDs.
“That was fun, huh?” Manziel said. “I loved going up against a guy like Malcolm. We came together as a team, and we wore Steele down.”
Manziel, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound senior committed to Oregon, picked apart a Steele (1-2) defense that rushed only three players at him in the first half.
He was 19 of 24 passing for 244 yards and four TDs with 107 rushing yards and a TD in the first half alone.

i know, but what im saying is that UT should have avoided letting him (or anyone else) know that they were thinking of slotting him at WR. they should have told him that QB is competitive and give him a chance to compete for the position. who knows? he could start. its such a turn-off to recruits when a school tells them that they cant play the position theyve been used to their whole lives.
