The Heisman Trophy made a guest appearance at the American Athletic Conference’s annual football media days in July.

It may not be the last time a player from The American is near the top individual honor in sports.

Hopefully, someone thought to snap a picture of UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton standing next to it. The unassuming 5-11, 185-pound sophomore from Kapolei, Hawaii, deserves to be part of the Heisman conversation this season.
