ARLINGTON Texas As if Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones weren't tortured enough about not drafting Johnny Manziel the Cleveland Browns' rookie quarterback will be in Jones' building Saturday and rooting against Jones' alma mater.
Manziel the former Texas AM star is expected to be in attendance when the No. 6 Aggies play Arkansas in a neutral site game.
EnlargeManziel's Browns are off this week.
In addition to Manziel being on hand sources close to the team said the Aggies are expected to have freshman receiver Speedy Noil against the 3 1 Razorbacks.
Noil injured his left knee during the Sept. 13 win over Rice. Those close to the team said Noil required minor surgery but has made a miraculous recovery. He returned to practice this week and was making cuts a little more than a week after surgery one source said.
Asked earlier in the week about Noil's availability Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin said simply We'll see.
Noil ESPN RecruitingNation's No. 7 overall prospect in the 2014 class has 12 catches for 197 yards and a score in two plus games.
Powered by Manziel's successor Kenny Hill Texas AM leads the SEC in passing offense (405 yards per game) but Saturday is the 4 0 Aggies' first conference game since their Aug. 28 season opening win at then No. 9 South Carolina.
