Four finalists have been invited to Saturday’s Heisman Trophy ceremony at the PlayStation Theatre in New York City.
ESPN will televise the event starting at 8 p.m.
Here’s a look at the players up for college football’s biggest individual honor, which will be awarded for the 85th time.
Joe Burrow, LSU senior quarterback
Bio: His feel-good story is well known by now. He grew up hoping to play for Nebraska, like his father and two brothers, but the Cornhuskers never showed interest. So he started his career at Ohio State, which offered a scholarship because offensive coordinator Tom Herman prodded Urban Meyer. He appeared in nine games for the Buckeyes, always in the shadows of J.T. Barrett and Dwayne Haskins Jr. When he didn’t win the starting job in spring 2018, and with his business degree in hand, he transferred to LSU with two years of NCAA eligibility remaining. Now, having led LSU (13-0) to the Southeastern Conference championship and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff, he is poised to become the school’s second Heisman winner and its first since Billy Cannon in 1959.
