The 86th Heisman Trophy ceremony will be announced tonight, with Alabama having not only two of the four finalists, but the two biggest favorites to win the award. 

If either quarterback Mack Jones or wide DeVonta Smith win, they would be Alabama’s third Heisman winner joining running backs Mark Ingram II (2009), and Derrick Henry (2015). 

Jones would be Alabama’s first quarterback winner while Smith would be the first wide receiver to win since Michigan’s Desmond Howard in 1991 and the first non-QB/WR since Charles Woodson in 1997.

Including fifth-place finisher, running back Najee Harris, Alabama boasts three of the top five vote-getters for just the second time in Heisman history and the first since Army did it in 1946 (halfback Glenn Davis first, fullback Doc Blanchard fourth, quarterback Arnie Tucker fifth).
