The Heisman Trophy finalists have officially been announced and the prestigious award will come down to these four candidates: Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan and Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel.
The USA Today mapped out a case for and against each player and in doing so, it appears that each player seems to bring a little something different to table.
Brennan became the Division IA’s all-time leader in touchdown passes, but many consider him a “system quarterback.” Daniel also had fantastic numbers this season, but losing to Oklahoma in the national spotlight won’t help his cause. McFadden and Tebow both had solid years, but McFadden struggled in October and no sophomore has ever won the Heisman, which makes the odds stacked against Tebow winning.
For what it’s worth, here’s my prediction of how it will unfold on Saturday:
1. Tim Tebow
2. Darren McFadden
3. Colt Brennan
4. Chase Daniel
