The premier award in college football has largely been held hostage by quarterbacks and running backs for the better part of the last three decades. Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith changed all of that Tuesday night as he was named winner of the 2020 Heisman Trophy, becoming the first pass catcher to be named college football's best player in 29 years. Smith beat out three fellow Heisman finalists -- all quarterbacks -- in Clemson's Trevor Lawrence (second), Alabama's Mac Jones (third) and Florida's Kyle Trask (fourth) for the nation's top honor. In doing so, he is the first wide receiver to win the Heisman Trophy since Michigan's Desmond Howard in 1991 and just the fourth ever at his position.
