Ohio State has no Heisman finalist for just the second time since 2018 as Travis Hunter, Ashton Jeanty, Dillon Gabriel and Cam Ward are the four final candidates for this year’s award.
Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel and Miami quarterback Cam Ward are the four players who will travel to New York for this weekend’s ceremony.The list of finalists includes no surprises. Hunter, a unique two-way player who is one of college football’s best players at two different positions, is the heavy betting favorite to win the award.
Gabriel and Ward continue the recent trend of transfer quarterbacks becoming Heisman finalists as both of them earned invitations to the ceremony after switching schools – for the second time in both cases – last offseason. Gabriel has been one of college football’s most efficient quarterbacks while leading Oregon to an undefeated regular season, a Big Ten championship and the No. 1 seed in the CFP.
It’s the first time since 2020 and just the second time in the last seven years that no Ohio State players have been Heisman finalists. Will Howard was building momentum for a possible invitation to the ceremony entering The Game, but his chances of making a run at the trophy ended with his struggles in Ohio State’s 13-10 loss to Michigan.
