Marvin Harrison Jr. - Ohio State Buckeyes
It's not often you see a wideout finish as a Heisman finalist, but with someone who has the talent that Marvin Harrison Jr. does, you can understand why. Defenses routinely had to change their game plan when Harrison Jr. was on the field, and the numbers he finished with for the Buckeyes were sensational. Harrison Jr. ended 2023 with 67 receptions for 1,211 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns.
Heisman Finalists Announced
The four finalists for the Heisman trophy were announced earlier this week. SportsGrid makes a case for each of the final four to win the most coveted trophy in college football.
Jayden Daniels - LSU Tigers
Although Jayden Daniels didn't play in a conference championship, there's no denying the numbers he put together in 2023. Daniels finished the regular season with 3,812 passing yards, 40 touchdown passes, four interceptions, 1,134 rushing yards, and ten rushing touchdowns. In addition, Daniels helped lead the LSU Tigers to a 9-3 record.
Michael Penix Jr. - Washington Huskies
Michael Penix Jr. has helped put the Washington Huskies program back on the map. The left-handed signal-caller led the Huskies to a Pac-12 Championship and a perfect regular season. With that, the Huskies earned a berth in the College Football Playoff. Penix Jr. registered 4,218 passing yards, 33 touchdowns, nine interceptions, and three rushing touchdowns in 2023.
Bo Nix - Oregon Ducks
Heading into championship weekend, Bo Nix was the odds leader in the clubhouse to win the Heisman trophy. Although Nix wasn't able to lead the Oregon Ducks to a Pac-12 title, he still put together a dominant season for the program. Nix tallied 4,145 passing yards, 40 touchdowns, three interceptions, 228 rushing yards, and six rushing touchdowns. Nix's numbers are tremendous, and he could very well end up winning his first Heisman trophy.
