Mac Jones, DeVonta Smith announced as Heisman finalists

Alabama football’s Mac Jones and DeVonta Smith are both Heisman Trophy finalists. The list was announced on Thursday night.

The finalists for the Heisman Trophy were announced on Thursday night, as was the finish of the rest of the top 10. On that list was three different Alabama players, including two that are finalists.

First off, running back Najee Harris checked in at No. 5 on the list. He came close after an impressive season, but ultimately didn’t crack the top 4. Quarterback Mac Jones and wide receiver DeVonta Smith did, however.

Here is the way things shook out during the announcement show on Christmas Eve:

The actual Heisman Trophy ceremony won’t be until Tuesday, Jan. 5, so there is still going to be a sizable gap before we find out the victor. In the meantime, let’s appreciate this special trio of talented players.

Let’s also make sure we don’t forget wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who probably would have been a factor in this conversation as well — had it not been for a severe ankle injury suffered against Tennessee earlier in the season.
