Ohio State Running Back Ezekiel Elliott Not Named 2015 Heisman Trophy Finalist

Despite a campaign from his head coach, Ezekiel Elliott is not heading to New York City as a finalist for the 2015 Heisman Trophy.

"I don't lobby, or maybe I do, he should be in New York," Urban Meyer said of Elliott after Ohio State's 42-13 victory at Michigan Nov. 28. "That's one of the best players in America. He should be a Heisman guy."

However, Elliott did not do enough in 2015 in the eyes of Heisman voters to become a finalist. The three finalists for the award are Alabama running back Derrick Henry, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson and Stanford all-purpose back Christian McCaffrey.
