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.

Texas A&M quarterback 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. The voters have always been against giving this prestigious award to a freshman. Anyways, Congratulations to Johnny Manziel! He has definitely been extraordinary this season.
