Announced on ESPN MNF preview show.  Congratulations to him on the well deserved honor.

Honestly, Walker was disrespected. He should be up there instead of Stroud.

Definitely, but the Heisman has always been a bunch of bullshit. If it were really about the best overall player, it wouldn't be dominated by QBs and RBs and the winners wouldn't always come from the top teams.

He had some pretty gaudy stats against some bad teams.  Pretty much a non factor against OSU.  Held in check by Nebraska.  Had an all time game against Michigan.  I think that's why Sparty think he deserves to go to NYC.  

 

On a personal note, my closest Sparty friend has been on social media silence since OSU shellacked MSU.  But the Walker snub was too much.  He's livid.  Raging.   It is beautiful

Decent chance this is the second time in 13 years that an Alabama skill player will (undeservedly) win against an absolute wrecking ball of a pass-rusher.

Finishing 2nd would put him in elite company for a defense-only player (Hugh Green and Manti Te'o).  And he didn't even have to conjure a dead girlfriend as his "Heisman moment"

Fantastic news! Young probably has it locked up, but being a finalist is an amazing honor for a defensive lineman.

And, ya never know - people thought Peyton had it locked up too - hahahahaha

Go Blue! Go Hutch!
