During his weekly radio show Tom Herman revealed that he received a letter from the Heisman Trophy Trust that said junior quarterback Greg Ward Jr. is a candidate for the award.
Ward is also a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award and the Maxwell Award.
Ward said earlier this week that it would be a blessing if he was considered for the Heisman Trophy.
“I think it would be very special,” Ward said in a news release. “It would be mind blowing because I would never think anything about it.”
Ward is the fourth player in UH history to be a candidate for the Heisman Trophy.
