As expected, Baker Mayfield captured 732 of 887 (82.5%) first-place votes to lap his fellow finalists, Stanford running back Bryce Love and Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, and become the third Oklahoma quarterback since 2003 and the sixth Sooner overall to win the Heisman Trophy.

Mayfield becomes the third Oklahoma quarterback since 2003 and the sixth Sooner overall to win the award.

Though Mayfield graduates, Jackson and Love each have one more season of eligibility on the table, though the consensus is that Jackson will skip his senior year to enter the NFL draft.
