I mean ESPN isn't picking the Heisman but they sure as hell are making it obvious.
Lead story on the NCAAF page is about Travis Hunter.
He's more than deserving, but goodness if he wasn't playing for Deion he wouldn't be there at all and we all know it. I do however find it a bit hilarious that his own son isn't present and the entire offense was designed around inflating Shedeur's numbers.
And before anyone comes at me, Hunter finished 5th in receptions with 92, 6th in receiving yards with 1152, 2nd in receiving TDs with 14. Then on defense he had 32 combined tackles, 1 TFL, 4 INTs, 11 pass deflections (lead Big 12) and 1 FF.
Neither of those stats would be enough alone, but since he accomplished both in the same season I completely get why he's there and if he wins I honestly won't complain.
BUT
If the Heisman is an award about recognizing the most outstanding player in college football...it's Ashton Jeanty. He has at least 1 game left and sits at 2497 rushing yards, 4th most by a RB in a single season. His 29 rushing TDs are the most by anyone in a decade and just 8 behind Barry's record. And because of his season his team is in the college football playoffs.
