the trophy, joining John David Crow, who won it in 1957; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the course of the season, Johnny Manziel | ||

Alabama; he has received numerous other awards over the course of | ||
the season, including the Davey O'Brien Award, given each year to | ||
the nation's top quarterback; and | ||
WHEREAS, Johnny has brought great honor to himself, his | ||
family, and his university, and it is truly fitting that he be | ||
recognized for his many accomplishments; now, therefore, be it | ||
