Tannehill enters spring drills as No. 1 for A&M
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill was expected to spend last season at receiver and backing up senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson.
Instead Johnson struggled and Tannehill was promoted to starter midway through the season. he led the Aggies to six straight wins and a trip to the Cotton Bowl.
As the Texas A&M opened spring practice Tuesday, Tannehill was excited to begin his first full season as the Aggies' starter.
He says it feels different to know he'll be leading the offense all season and that the team has already set its goal as winning the Big 12 championship.
The Aggies return 18 starters to a team that went 9-4 last season for the school's best record since 2006.
