We officially have a new member of the Heisman fraternity!

For the second consecutive season — and a whopping fifth time in the last seven campaigns — a transfer quarterback has claimed the Heisman Trophy.

Jayden Daniels, who is the quarterback at LSU but started his college football career at Arizona State before becoming a Tiger in 2022, has been named the winner of the 2023 Heisman Trophy, the most prestigious individual award in all of college football. Daniels won the award Saturday night after tallying a stat line of 3,812 passing yards, 1,134 rushing yards and 50 touchdowns. In total, he racked up 4,946 offensive yards.

Beating out Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. (292 first-place votes, 1,701 total) and Oregon’s Bo Nix (51 first-place votes, 885 total), Daniels won the Heisman with 503 first-place votes and 2,209 total points. He also placed above Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who had 20 first-place votes and 352 total. Jordan Travis, the quarterback of the Florida State team who got royally screwed by the NCAA, came in fifth with eight first-place votes and 85 total points.

The ceremony was held at New York City’s Lincoln Center.
