Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel stirred up followers on Saturday with a late night tweet. The tweet, which was quickly deleted, made a reference to leaving the Aggies, the Dallas News reports.
Manziel posted his first tweet at 10:38 p.m. on Saturday.
It's unclear what sparked Manziel's initial tweet, according to ESPN. The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner made news earlier this year in College Station when he decided to take only online classes because of the attention he received on campus. He made headlines again in March when photos of his spring break to Cabo surfaced online.
Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin, however, isn't worried about growing attention around Johnny Football.
"I've seen it, just like everybody else," Sumlin told reporters on Thursday. "I think being around other guys in the past has helped me, but there's never been anything like this before. ... When you are a nationally recognized person, whether you're young or a freshman or an older guy, there are some things that come with that.
"Like I said before, (Manziel) is still himself, and he has made some mistakes and he knows that. That's part of growing up. I think, like I've said before, we've a support process that's in place for him and his family and I know that ever since summer school started he has been back hard at work and he's happy to be back with his teammates."
Manziel helmed the Aggies to an 11-2 season and a No. 5 end-of-season ranking, their highest since 1956. His 5,116 total offensive yards last year set an SEC single-season record and helped him become the first college freshman to ever win the Heisman Trophy.
