Heisman Trophy

Marcus Mariota won college football’s highest award in a landslide, becoming the first Oregon player to win the Heisman Trophy.

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston won the 79th Heisman Trophy on Saturday night in New York City, becoming the the youngest player ever to be named the nation's most outstanding college football player.

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston and five other college football stars have been named finalists for the Heisman Trophy, which will be awarded on Saturday.

After a record-breaking first season, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel made history again Saturday night, becoming the first freshman ever to win the Heisman Trophy.

History could be in the making this weekend, with a defensive player and a freshman highlight among this year’s finalists for the Heisman Trophy. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein were announced as candidates for football’s most prestigious trophy, which will be awarded Saturday night.

After leading Baylor to a nine-win season and its highest ranking in over two decades, Bears quarterback Robert Griffin III became the school’s first Heisman Trophy winner Saturday night. Griffin edged out preseason favorite Andrew Luck of Stanford for football’s most prestigious award.

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck was the preseason favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, so the fact that he got an invite to the award presentation shouldn’t be a surprise. But the fact that he’ll be joined by a defensive back, a track star in shoulder pads and a Wisconsin player not named Russell Wilson might be.
