LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels was awarded the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night in a ceremony held in New York City, becoming the third Tiger to win the honor.
Daniels becomes the third straight passer to win college football’s most prestigious individual award, including last year’s winner Caleb Williams.
Daniels secured 503 first-place votes to finish ahead of Washington’s Michael Penix Jr., Oregon’s Bo Nix, and Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr., who rounded out the list of finalists. He joins Billy Cannon (1959) and Joe Burrow (2019) as the only LSU alums to take home the award and is the third SEC signal-caller to earn the honor since 2019.
