The four finalists for the Heisman Trophy were announced on Monday evening, and the list didn’t really come as a surprise.
LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and Oregon quarterback Bo Nix were the obvious three, and all received invites to the ceremony in New York next weekend.
Some thought Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe may get an invite after leading the Crimson Tide to an upset over Georgia in Saturday’s SEC championship, but instead, the fourth spot went to star Ohio State receiver and top-five 2024 NFL draft prospect Marvin Harrison Jr.
Daniels is heavily expected to receive the award. He’s the clear favorite, both in terms of betting and public perception, and it would be decently surprising to see things go in a different direction.
But in the spirit of both chaos and fairness, here’s the best argument each of the four has for winning college football’s most prestigious award.
