Ohio State sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins finished third in the 2018 Heisman Trophy voting.
Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray won the award with 2,167 points, with Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa finishing second at 1,871 in one of the closest votes in Heisman history.
Haskins was third with 783 points.
Seven Buckeyes have won the Heisman: Les Horvath, Vic Janowicz, Hopalong Cassady, Archie Griffin (who won twice), Eddie George, and Troy Smith.
Last week, Haskins won the Silver Football as the Big Ten’s best player.
That was a fitting capper to a season in which Haskins has completely rewritten the Ohio State and Big Ten passing record books.
Haskins holds the OSU single-game and single-season records for completions, passing attempts, passing yards, passing touchdowns, and touchdowns accounted for.
His 4,580 yards passing is more than 1,500 better than the previous record of 3,330.
Haskins also holds the Big Ten single-season records for passing yards, passing touchdowns, and total offense.
He didn’t just roll up big numbers against weak defenses, either.
As Tony Gerdeman pointed out on Twitter, Haskins’ numbers against the best defenses he faced were far better than either Murray or Tagovailoa.
Below is a closer look at just how dominant Haskins has been in the context of the rest of Ohio State’s season.
