Since the NCAA began allowing athletic scholarships in 1950, no player to win the Heisman Trophy ever started his career as a walk-on.
Baker Mayfield changed that Saturday night.
Mayfield, the Oklahoma quarterback whose storybook saga began with him walking-on to Texas Tech, captured the 83rd Heisman in a landslide victory.
Stanford running back Bryce Love finished second, and Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, last year's Heisman winner, placed third.
