  9. Bijan Robinson, TX – 75 (4/12/39)
  10. Drake May, North Carolina – 42 (3/6/21)

Williams and Duggan were a good distance away from fellow finalists CJ Stroud of Ohio State and Stetson Bennett of Georgia. Duggan had more first-place votes than the rest of the field combined and was more than 300 first-place votes away from Williams.

We knew Williams, Duggan, Stroud, and Bennett were among the top vote-getters, but the official tally revealed more about the finalists.

Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker, who seemingly led the Heisman run for most of the season before losing to Georgia and suffering a season-ending injury, finished fifth. It also won the Nissan fan vote.

Alabama’s Bryce Young wasn’t able to repeat last year’s Heisman win. He finished sixth in the voting after the Crimson Tide faltered in a 10-2 season.

Michigan’s Blake Corum was also a rival for Heisman prior to the injury. Running came seventh.

Michael Bennix was a Heisman dark horse after moving from Indiana. The quarterback didn’t have enough to make an impact as an eight-place finisher.

Texas running back Bijan Robinson only got enough love for ninth.

Finally, North Carolina’s Drake May phenomenon rounded out the top ten.

The biggest surprise may be the absence of Bo Nix, the Oregon quarterback who changed his career after moving from Auburn but suffered an injury late in the season.
