Heisman Trophy 2024 final voting revealed
With the 2024 Heisman Trophy being handed out and Colorado’s Travis Hunter winning, the final tally of votes has been revealed. And as expected, it was a two-man race between Hunter and Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty.
And within that competition between the two, it was a close race on overall points, but the first place votes elevated Hunter. It’s the closest finish for first place in for the Heisman since 2009. Fellow finalists Dillon Gabriel and Cam Ward finished distantly in third and fourth place, respectively.
Three points are awarded for a first place vote, two for a second place vote, and one for third. The player with the most total points wins.
Here’s how the voting broke down.
- Hunter — 2231 points (552 first place)
- Jeanty — 2017 (309)
- Gabriel — 516 (24)
- Ward — 229 (6)

Hunter and Jeanty emerged as the clear favorites and contenders for the award during the final stretch of the season. Hunter dazzled with his two-way play as Colorado rolled to 9-3 and Jeanty entered the rare-air of Barry Sanders comparisons and led Boise State to the College Football Playoff.
Hunter caught 92 passes for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns as one of the top receivers in all of college football. Then, defensively, he had 32 tackles, 11 deflections, four interceptions, and a forced fumble at corner.
Jeanty proved to be a worthy foil, though, as the Broncos rolled to 11-1 and Jeanty came within shouting distance of Sanders’ 1988 rushing total, albeit in more games. He ran for 2,497 yards and 29 touchdowns on 344 carries, good for 192.1 per game and 7.3 a touch, as the nation’s leading rusher by over 800 yards. He’s just 131 yards shy of the single-season record held by Sanders.
