Based on preseason predictions, few Heisman Trophy winners in recent college football history have been as unexpected as last year’s runaway winner, LSU’s Joe Burrow.
While his victory seems obvious in hindsight — he only rewrote the LSU, Southeastern Conference and Bowl Subdivision record book in leading the Tigers to the national championship — Burrow headed into last season with slim odds to lift the Heisman Trophy. After all, he threw 16 TD passes in 2018. (And then tossed 60 as a senior.)
There might be another contender looming off the radar heading into the 2020 season.
