Final 2022 Heisman Trophy voting results of top ten candidates

In case you lost track of a major happening in the sports world, the Heisman Trophy was handed out on Saturday night and we’re here to report to you that Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud came up short to Caleb Williams of USC in winning the bronze statue for 2022.

And to be honest, the voting wasn’t even all that close with Williams running away with it all, ahead of a distant Max Duggan of TCU in second place. Stroud, the frontrunner most of the season, finished a distant third after the Buckeyes bit the bullet against Michigan.
