An unprecedented 2020 college football season has finally reached its end in the SEC, and we’ve seen plenty of surprises and shuffling around at quarterback this year.
One of the biggest storylines of the year has been the competition between Florida’s Kyle Trask and Alabama’s Mac Jones vying for the Heisman Trophy.
But it looks as if the honors might not go to a quarterback at all anymore (enter DeVonta Smith, who is coming off a performance with 15 receptions, 189 yards and two touchdowns).
Here’s a look at where each quarterback in the conference stands at regular season’s end.
1. Kyle Trask, Florida.
Kyle Trask and Mac Jones have remained about as close as they could be all year, and the separating factor is the fact that Trask has been more essential to his team as a whole — while performing at an exceptionally high level — than any other quarterback in the country has.
The Heisman Trophy probably won’t be coming back to Florida after Trask threw two interceptions against LSU (though only one of them was really on him) and the heartbreaking loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship in which Trask took a sack on Florida’s Hail Mary attempt.
He’s completed just under 70% of his passes for 4,125 yards with 43 touchdowns (an FBS best) and five interceptions this season, also breaking Danny Wuerffel’s touchdown record this season.
He clinches the No. 1 spot by a hair with the Cotton Bowl left on schedule.
