The Heisman Trophy is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious and important awards in all of sports. Since 1935, the best player in college football has been crowned as the Heisman by a combination of media members, former winners of the award and the Heisman Fan Vote.

Last year, it was Travis Hunter who took home the hardware, putting a stamp on a truly outstanding season playing both wide receiver and cornerback full-time for the Colorado Buffaloes. This year, the winner will be chosen between Fernando Mendoza, Diego Pavia, Julian Sayin and Jeremiyah Love.

The Heisman Trophy ceremony will be shown live on ABC and ESPN, starting at 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT.
