Heisman Trophy reveals top-10 finishers for 2024 award
Heisman Trophy finalists were revealed recently, and the official 2024 Heisman will be announced with a live ceremony on Saturday. On Friday, the prestigious Heisman confirmed the full list of top-10 finishers for the 2024 award.
The four finalists for this year’s Heisman are Colorado 2-way star Travis Hunter, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel and Miami QB Cam Ward. The players to finish just outside of the top 4 are Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo and Army QB Bryson Daily.
Skattebo, in spite of a versatile season and massive Big 12 Championship Game, did not reach the top 4. However, he did deliver a spirited defense of his candidacy in the aftermath.
Tyler Warren, Penn State‘s do-it-all tight end, finished 7th for the award. He joins Hunter as the only non-QB or RB to finish inside the top 10 for the honor.
Shedeur Sanders (Colorado), Kurtis Rourke (Indiana) and Kyle McCord (Syracuse) round out the top 10 with a string of QBs to finish the list. That leaves 6 QBs in the top 10, 2 RBs, 1 WR/DB and 1 TE represented.
In terms of conference breakdown, the Big Ten and Big 12 led the way with 3 players each. The ACC produced 2 players with the Mountain West and independents producing a lone player.
Surprisingly, not a single player from the SEC finished in the top 10 for this year’s Heisman. Here is the full breakdown:
