The Heisman Trophy Trust announced the three finalists for the 2017 Heisman Trophy award on Monday afternoon, leaving senior San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny off the final ballot.
University of Oklahoma senior quarterback Baker Mayfield, Stanford University junior running back Bryce Love and University of Louisville junior quarterback Lamar Jackson were invited to the annual ceremony in New York City on Dec. 9.
Penny, who leads the FBS in all-purpose (2,698) and rushing yards (2,027), was not invited to the ceremony.
This is the second major award committee that has snubbed Penny, who finished the season with four consecutive 200-yard rushing games.
