And then there were three.
Alabama’s Derrick Henry, Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey and Clemson’s Deshaun Watson were named the three finalists for the Heisman Trophy on Monday, and it was announced by 1998 Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams on ESPN’s SportsCenter.
Henry is a big reason why No. 2 Alabama is in the College Football Playoff. He leads the country with 1,986 rushing yards and 23 rushing touchdowns.
He also set the Southeastern Conference single-season rushing record, passing Herschel Walker’s 34-year record of 1,891 yards.
McCaffrey has flown under the radar a bit this season, but his numbers tell a different story.
