Mayfield won college football’s most prestigious individual honor in a landslide over runner-up Bryce Love of Stanford and last year’s Heisman winner, Lamar Jackson of Louisville.
The Oklahoma quarterback topped off a week for the ages in which he also won both the Maxwell Award and the Walter Camp Award as college football’s most outstanding player in 2017, the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the Year Award and the Associated Press Player of the Year Award.
Mayfield is the 83rd college player to be honored with the Heisman Trophy and the sixth Oklahoma Sooner to win the award, joining Billy Vessels (1952), Steve Owens (1969), Billy Sims (1978), Jason White (2003) and Sam Bradford (2008).
