On Saturday night at the PlayStation Theater in New York City, Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray was named the 84th winner of the Heisman Trophy over fellow finalists Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa and Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins. The multi-millionaire Oakland A’s first-round draft pick is the second-straight Sooner to take home the most prestigious individual prize in college sports — following current Cleveland Brown Baker Mayfield. With the Murray win, Oklahoma ties Ohio State and Notre Dame for the most Heismans won by a school with seven.
Heading into an Orange Bowl matchup against Alabama, Murray has amassed 4,053 yards through the air and 892 on the ground, in addition to 40 passing touchdowns and 11 more rushing.
