LSU’s Jayden Daniels wins Heisman Trophy

For the second time in the past five years, an Louisiana State University quarterback has won college football’s highest honor.

Tigers signal-caller Jayden Daniels was awarded the Heisman Trophy on Saturday evening in New York over fellow finalists Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., Oregon quarterback Bo Nix and Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Daniels, 22, is LSU’s third Heisman Trophy winner in program history.

He joins running back Billy Cannon in 1959 and quarterback Joe Burrow in 2019. Both Cannon and Burrow helped the Tigers reach major bowl games.
