by The Heisman Trophy finalists were set as USC’s Caleb Williams, Georgia’s Stetson Bennett, TCU’s Max Duggan, and Ohio State’s CJ Stroud will travel to New York to hear who will be announced as the winner.
The favorites of the four are Williams, despite losing to Utah at the Pac-12 Championship last weekend and being eliminated from the College Football playoffs.
In his first season with the Trojans after following former Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley to sunny California, Williams scored 37 goals for 4,075 yards, the most draw in the country.

A true sophomore, Williams will have to play another college season before heading to the NFL, but USC has several teams on guard this year as they head to the Cotton Bowl to face Tulane on January 2.
But Bennett, Duggan and Stroud will qualify for the College Football Playoffs, and Bennett puts the Georgia Bulldogs in the top spot in the country.

Seeking back-to-back national titles after defeating Alabama last year, Bennett scored 20 goals in 13 games for Georgia, shooting 3,425 yards with six interceptions.
