ESPN announced on Christmas Eve the four finalists for the most-prestigious individual award in college football.
There are four finalists for the 2020 Heisman Trophy. ESPN announced the four finalists shortly after 7:30 p.m. E.T.
Alabama quarterback Mac Jones
Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith
Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence
Florida quarterback Kyle Trask
Smith is considered to be the favorite for the award. The Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver has been leading most of the straw polls heading into bowl season.
The four Heisman finalists are Mac Jones, DeVonta Smith, Trevor Lawrence and Kyle Trask

The 2020 Heisman Trophy will be awarded in a virtual ceremony on Jan. 5.
ESPN.com had some details on the presentation:
The ceremony was pushed from December into January as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The voting deadline is now Dec. 21, and the finalists will be announced Dec. 24 during a 30-minute special at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Chris Fowler will host the one-hour Heisman Trophy ceremony on Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. ET, originating from ESPN’s studios in Bristol, Connecticut. Tom Rinaldi and Maria Taylor will join Fowler, while ESPN analysts and former Heisman Trophy winners Desmond Howard (1991) and Tim Tebow (2007) will contribute remotely.
All Heisman finalists will appear via satellite from either their homes or schools. Several past Heisman Trophy winners also will appear virtually.
Who are you picking for this year’s award?

I pick Trevor Lawrence from Clemson!!!
Trevor Lawrence is the choice of the public...and would be a deserving winner.
Lawrence moved from +700 to now +400 at my bookie.
Smith is still the favorite.
I theorize whoever wins the big one will have the Heisman winner. Still thinking about Lawrence.
The Bama running back should have been in there also. That guy had a great year. Yards rushing, TDs both running and passing. He can catch passes and that is what NFL teams want in a running back. Has great hands.
It is a tough pick. But, being a UF alum I have to hope for Trask with his incredible story.
My money’s on Biden, in a last second, come-from-behind surge in the voting.
All 4 finalists were born male.
The Patriarchy disgusts me!
I heard a female kicked a 25 yard kickoff. She should win!
trask is +2500 to 1. It was just a week or so ago he was the favorite. His performance sunk him.
LOL...post of the day and not too far from the truth.
What? Nobody from Notre Dame or Ohio State?
/s
RTR and have a blessed Christmas!
ESPN hates The Ohio State University.
Justin Fields was robbed.
Go Bucks, clobber Clemson.
Uh, Trask had over 400 passing yards and 4 touchdowns against mighty bubba gumps.
He was not sharp against Northwestern. Going into that game he only 30 incomplete pass attempts. At one point in the season he had more TD passes than incomplete.
Lawrence most likely wins. She is really good.
Bookies are giving 2500 to 1 on him now after his performance. Trask was the favorite a very short time ago when I was looking at the odds.
IF you believe he can win then it put some money on him. It would be a huge payday. $10 bucks wins you $250 depending on the bookie.
You would just be throwing your money away, though.
someone said Trevor Lawrence not getting it would be like Peyton Manning not getting it.
Lil ole Clemson will never get that award. Lawrence is deserving.
Justin played with a busted finger, that is why they ran the ball so often.
Trevor will need to get her hair and nails done before the virtual Heisman is awarded.

Two Bama players could split the vote. No clear front runner here I would guess.
