NEW YORK – Even though he didn’t win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, Dwayne Haskins will leave New York with fond memories of his experience as a Heisman finalist.
While Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray was the one who ultimately took the trophy home from Times Square, and Haskins finished third behind Murray and fellow finalist Tua Tagovailoa, the Ohio State quarterback said that just being able to participate in the Heisman ceremony would be a rewarding experience for him even if he didn’t win.
“It’s been a lot of fun, being able to do the things we did the past couple days and having a great time,” Haskins said Saturday evening before Murray was announced as the winner.
