Heisman joy for RB Henry
Print Edition
Running back Derrick Henry snapped a five-year streak of quarterback winners when he won coveted award given to the top American football college player — late on Saturday.
University of Alabama’s Henry received 378 first-place votes for a total of 1,832 points, finishing 293 points ahead of runner-up Christian McCaffrey of Stanford University. Clemson University quarterback Deshaun Watson finished third with 1,165 points.
“I am so honored. I almost fell off my chair I was so happy,” Henry said. “Those are two great athletes who were up there with me.”
Henry broke a long run of quarterbacks claiming the award, comprising Cam Newton (2010), Robert Griffin (2011), Johnny Manziel (2012), Jameis Winston (2013) and Marcus Mariota (2014). Mark Ingram, who is now with the NFL’s New Orleans Saints, and Henry are the only University of Alabama players to win the award.
