Alabama quarterback Bryce Young was named the recipient of the 2021 Heisman Trophy, which was expected. Now that the voting totals have been released, the world can see how decisive of a vote it was.
The Crimson Tide sophomore quarterback has led the team to a top seed in the College Football Playoff, an SEC Championship and chance at National Championship No. 19.
Nick Kelly of the Tuscaloosa News shared the final results of the Heisman voting via Twitter, and it was not close.
Young received 684 first-place votes and a total of 2,311 points (83% of possible points); second place belongs to Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson, who tallied 78 first-place votes and 954 total points. A difference of 1,357 votes separated first and second place.
What is interesting, though, is that Alabama linebacker Will Anderson jr. missed the cut for an invite to New York, finishing No. 5 in the final votes, but received the third-most first-place votes.
Heisman vote tally:
Bryce Young (684 first place votes): 2,311 points
Aidan Hutchinson (78): 954
Kenny Pickett (28): 631
CJ Stroud (12): 399
Will Anderson Jr (31): 325— Nick Kelly (@_NickKelly) December 12, 2021
