Alabama QB Mac Jones takes No. 1 spot in Heisman race over Trevor Lawrence, according to Pro Football Focus

This year’s race for the Heisman Memorial Trophy is heating up.

Regardless of most people feeling like the award is for Trevor Lawrence, the 2018 national champion and quarterback of Clemson has serious competition. Mac Jones of the University of Alabama is not playing around, and the redshirt junior from Florida is having an incredible season. He is pacing an Alabama offense that leads the Southeastern Conference in every major category, while ranking in the top-five nationally for every category. After proving to coaches, teammates, fans and media pundits that he could take over for an injured Tua Tagovailoa in 2019, Jones has exceeded all expectations placed upon him this season.
