Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was named a finalist for the 2015 Heisman Trophy by the Downtown Athletic Club in New York on Monday. Watson will travel to New York later this week to take part in all Heisman Finalist events and Saturday’s Heisman Presentation Ceremony.
Watson, who guided the Tigers to a 13-0 record and to the No. 1 spot in all the major polls and rankings, is the first Clemson player to be named a finalist for College Football’s most prestigious award.
“I just give all the credit to my teammates, especially these guys up here,” Watson said after the ACC Championship Game.
