LSU's Jayden Daniels Wins 2023 Heisman Trophy

Daniels Becomes Fifth Transfer Quarterback in Seven Years to Win Prestigious Award

LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels won the 2023 Heisman Trophy, becoming the first player since 2016 to win the award as part of a team that did not play for a conference championship.
Daniels received 503 first-place votes and 2,029 points after accounting for 50 touchdowns and nearly 5,000 total yards in just 12 regular-season games.
Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. was the runner-up with 292 first-place votes and 1,701 points and Oregon’s Bo Nix was third (51, 885), putting transfer quarterbacks in each of the top three spots.
Daniels is the fifth quarterback in the last seven seasons to win the Heisman after transferring, joining former LSU star Joe Burrow in 2019 and USC’s Caleb Williams last year.
Daniels led the Tigers to a 9-3 season, fueling the best offense in the country with his passing (3,812 yards) and running (1,134).
