Former Ohio State and current Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers named Heisman Trophy winner in recent prediction. One current Ohio State player just misses the top four.
The Heisman Trophy is the most coveted individual award in all of college football. This award is one that often feels like a quarterback award though. In the last 20 years, only four non-quarterbacks have won the Heisman Trophy. Running back Reggie Bush in 2005, running back Mark Ingram in 2009, running back Derrick Henry in 2015 and wide receiver DeVonta Smith in 2020 were the few to do so.
"When it comes to picking this year's Heisman Trophy winner, a first year quarterback in a new system... has not won the Heisman Trophy since Johnny Manziel," he stated on Wednesday's episode of Hard Count. This would take out Oklahoma transfer Dillon Gabriel and returning Alabama starter Jalen Milroe, who will be playing in Kalen DeBoer's system for the first time. Ewers was then ultimately picked to stand out just a bit more than Beck.
With the former Ohio State Buckeye picked to win the award, safety Caleb Downs even being mentioned in the conversation is fascinating. He was joined byquarterback Jaxson Dart just on the outside looking into the top four. This makes him the only defensive player in the conversation.Downs caught the attention of the entire college football world as a true freshman last season. After leaving Alabama and joining the Buckeyes, he is set for an excellent sophomore campaign.
