The first game used material from the Heisman Trophy winner to surface at auction

2012 Johnny Manziel Cleats Worn During Historic Victory over Alabama & 2011 "True Freshman" Game Jersey. If there was ever a football stock on the rise, it's Johnny Football, the twenty-year old quarterback for the Texas A&M Aggies who became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy in the eight decade history of college football's most prestigious award. Thrust into the spotlight when Ryan Tannehill left College Station for a job with the Miami Dolphins, Manziel utilized a thrilling blend of accuracy and elusiveness to establish his Aggies as one of the greatest threats to members of their new SEC home.

The greatest blow of Manziel's stunning debut season was struck at Tuscaloosa, where the number one Alabama Crimson Tide surrendered 253 passing yards and two touchdowns to the red shirt freshman in a twenty-nine to twenty-four defeat. Manziel rushed for a team-leading ninety-two yards on eighteen attempts in the win, and here we present the size fifteen Adidas cleats that carried him to that remarkable underdog victory. The shoes exhibit heavy wear, clearly far more than a single game's use, but they were gifted to a friend just after Manziel rolled back the Tide, autographed on each in 10/10 black sharpie with a "Worn against Bama" notation on the right shoe and "Bama Worn" on the left.

Also here is a game jersey worn on the sidelines during Manziel's true freshman 2011 season when he was number "15" on the Aggie roster. White tackle twill identifiers appear throughout, with "Texas A&M" in miniature on chest and "Manziel" on rear nameplate. Digits on chest, shoulders and sleeves feature a grey tackle twill border. Interior collar holds screened text that reads, "Home of the 12th Man" and a single washing instruction label. "Adidas" logo appears at center collar. LOA from Heritage Auctions. Full LOA from PSA/DNA (autograph). Full LOA from James Spence Authentication (autograph).

MANZIEL.
