GAINESVILLE — Florida quarterback Kyle Trask is one of four finalists for the Heisman Trophy, but he appears to face steep odds to become the fourth Gator to win college football’s top individual award.
Trask joined Alabama quarterback Mac Jones, Crimson Tide wide receiver DeVonta Smith and Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence as finalists revealed on ESPN Thursday night. The prize will be awarded on Jan. 5.
Once a front-runner for the Heisman, Trask lost some traction during consecutive losses by the Gators to close the season. But the redshirt senior’s record-setting résumé proved to be too much for voters to ignore.
