Johnny Manziel Announces Major News Ahead Of College Football Season

Johnny Manziel, also known as "Johnny Football," is considered one of the best college football stars of the century. He had two incredible seasons for the Texas A&M Aggies in 2012 and 2013, culminating in him being named the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.

Now, it seems that Manziel is returning to the spotlight as Action Network has announced that he will join the network's "Big Bets on Campus" podcast as a college football analyst.

"Johnny was one of the most electric, creative and popular players in college football history," Chief Content Officer Chad Millman said in a statement. "The definition of must-watch, appointment viewing. And that's exactly what he will be across our college football coverage."

As for Manziel, he said he is happy to be back as part of college football.

"College football is back, and it's an exciting time for the sport I love," Manziel said. "I'm looking forward to joining the guys and sharing my view week-by-week of the college football landscape."
