Alabama QB Jalen Milroe finishes sixth in 2023 Heisman Trophy voting
Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe finished sixth in the voting for the 2023 Heisman Trophy.
Milroe was not invited to New York for this year’s ceremony, but the Crimson Tide starter was among the top 10 Heisman vote-getters, which were announced Friday on ESPN.
Milroe has thrown for 2,718 yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions on 171-of-261 passing (65.5 percent). Milroe hasn’t thrown an interception in his last three games and has the SEC’s second-best passer rating (177.48, 4th nationally) behind Heisman favorite Jayden Daniels. He is also second in the SEC and nation with an average of 10.4 yards per attempt.
The Alabama quarterback has also been effective on the ground with 468 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 140 carries. Milroe ranks fourth in the SEC in rushing scores and 10th in carries entering the postseason matchup with No. 1 Michigan in the Rose Bowl semifinal.
“Jalen’s done a fantastic job for us,” said Alabama head coach Nick Saban. “His transition and improvement as a player is certainly been a huge factor in the success of our team.
