When the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner was announced Saturday on ESPN, Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. finished fourth in the voting receiving 20 first-place votes.
Jayden Daniels, a quarterback from LSU, won the award after a season in which he threw for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns and ran for another 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground.
Behind Daniels were Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. in second and Oregon’s Bo Nix in third, both quarterbacks who finished ahead of Harrison.
