10:53 AM ET 06.19 | There are few bigger stars in college football right now than Johnny Manziel. He became the first freshman to ever win a Heisman Trophy and he's become a rockstar on the campus of Texas A&M as well as all over college football. But while he's bigger than ever at the moment, Manziel is still struggling with being a teenager trapped in the body of the most popular college football player in the country. His little tantrum he threw on Twitter this weekend, like everything he does, has been broken down by everyone as though it's a scientific study of some kind. Not everyone agrees with Johnny Football's behavior and USA Today's David Climer went so far as to call Manziel the Kardashian of college football. Perhaps a better comparison would be to call Manziel the Kurt Cobain of college football as he clearly loves the attention most of the time but is still having trouble adjusting to the volume of attention and praise he's getting. Where Cobain was supposedly the voice of a generation, Manziel is the Aggies' bright and shining hope to be kings in the SEC and that's no small feat.

02:48 PM ET 06.19 | Five-star defensive tackle recruit Andrew Brown will make his commitment at the end of June, and has narrowed down his field to five schools. Brown will choose between Alabama, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Clemson, and Florida State, but there isn't a heavy favorite at this point for the consensus best defensive tackle in the 2014 recruiting class. That said, considering the roll they're on as a program, it's hard to bet against Alabama.

02:39 PM ET 06.19 | The Wisconsin Badgers lost another potential starter in the secondary, as JUCO transfer Donnell Vercher was denied admission to the school. Vercher was a standout for Fresno City College last year, and will instead attend Fresno State. Another defensive back, Reggie Mitchell, was in line to start, but will instead transfer to Pittsburgh. The Badgers have only one returning starter in their back four in Dezmen Southward, and will need some unproven commodities to step up in 2013.

02:32 PM ET 06.19 | Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M's amazing 2012 season almost never happened. Before the Heisman Trophy winner even took the field, he was suspended after getting involved in a bar fight in College Station. He had redshirted the previous season, and was prepared to transfer if his suspensions wasn't overturned before the season. Fortunately for all parties, it was, and Manziel was able to beat out Jameill Showers for the starting job in August. Showers, ironically, was the one who transferred, going to UTEP back in February.

02:13 PM ET 06.19 | According to one Hall of Famer, football may cease to exist within 10-20 years. Lem Barney, an NFL Hall of Famer, said just that while speaking at the Sound Mind, Sound Body camp in South Bend. The players at the camp all took baseline concussion tests, which can be used in case those players sustain head injuries this year. Some of the head coaches at the camp, including Michigan's Brady Hoke and Michigan State's Mark Dantonio, didn't agree with Barney, but said that it's important to teach players how to play football in a way that minimizes the danger of head injuries.
