NEW YORK (AP) -- Johnny Football just got himself a way cooler nickname: Johnny Heisman.
Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, taking college football's top individual prize Saturday night after a record-breaking debut.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o finished a distant second and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein was third in the voting. In a Heisman race with two nontraditional candidates, Manziel broke through the class barrier and kept Te'o from becoming the first purely defensive player to win the award.
Manziel drew 474 first-place votes and 2,029 points from the panel of media members and former winners.

Johnny Manziel has become the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy. He definitely deserved it the most out of the three candidates, but this has still surprised a lot of people because he is a freshman. Congratulations to Johnny Football! He has definitely been extraordinary this season.
