Ohio State will have to wait at least one more year for its eighth Heisman Trophy.
Buckeye quarterback Julian Sayin finished fourth in the voting for the 2025 Heisman Trophy, with Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza – who beat Sayin and Ohio State in last week’s Big Ten Championship Game – winning the award.
Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia finished second, while Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love finished third.

It’s the seventh time since 2018 that a Buckeye has made the trip to New York as a Heisman finalist but finished third or fourth in the Heisman vote.
