MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Though Will Grier wasn’t among the three Heisman finalists invited to New York, his fourth-place finish matched the second-best of any West Virginia player.
Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray won the Heisman Trophy with 2,167 points, followed by runner-up Tua Tagovailoa (1,871) and third-place Dwayne Haskins (783). Grier amassed 126 points, including four first-place votes out of the 877 ballots.
Washington Starte quarterback Gardner Minshew finished fifth (122), followed by UCF’s McKenzie Milton (39). The seventh-place finisher, Clemson running back Travis Ettiene (29), was the top non-quarterback vote-getter while Alabama defensive lineman Quinnen Williams finished eighth (27).
