The four finalists for the 2021 Heisman Trophy have been announced. They include three quarterbacks … and a defensive end.
Alabama signal-caller Bryce Young is the overwhelming favorite for the annual award, which goes to college football’s top player. Young has had at least two touchdowns in every game and tossed just four interceptions all season. He led the Crimson Tide to an SEC championship and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff.
Pitt quarterback and ACC Player of the Year Kenny Pickett led the Panthers to an unexpected conference title with dazzling moves like his 58-yard touchdown run on Saturday against Wake Forest.
