This should come as no surprise but Buckeye quarterback C.J. Stroud will make a return trip to New York City for a second consecutive year as a Heisman Trophy finalist. All four finalist are quarterbacks, with Georgia’s Stetson Bennett, TCU’s Max Duggan, and USC’s Caleb Williams who all have a chance to join a few in a select fraternity.
Ohio State has a long history with the trophy, tying Notre Dame for most winners of all time with seven. In the past five years, Stroud along with Justin Fields, Chase Young, and the late Dwayne Haskins all have been finalists. The last Buckeye winner was in 2006, when quarterback Troy Smith won.
