Heisman Winner Johnny Manziel Takes Only Online Learning Classes - Sam Laird, Mashable
Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel seems to have embraced working from home. The Texas A&M football star told reporters on Monday that he's enrolled in exclusively online courses this semester — meaning he only has to set foot on campus about once a month. Manziel spoke before accepting the Davey O'Brien Award, which annually goes to the nation's top college quarterback. He threw for 26 touchdowns and ran for 21 more last season in leading Texas A&M to an 11-2 record. In December, the man known as "Johnny Football" became the first freshman to win the Heisman, catapulting him to nationwide fame. That newfound notoriety, Manziel said, is part of the reason for his online-only course load.
