It’s not a surprise, and it may only be a formality, but LSU Quarterback Joe Burrow has been officially named as a finalist for the 85th Heisman Trophy.
Burrow will be joined by Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts and Ohio State’s defensive end Chase Young and quarterback Justin Fields. The award will be handed out this Saturday night at 7 p.m., live on ESPN.
Burrow, a senior from Athens, Ohio, is looking to become LSU’s second winner of the coveted Heisman Trophy. The late Billy Cannon is LSU’s only other Heisman Trophy winner, claiming the trophy in 1959.
