Josh Allen received ZERO votes on final Heisman ballot

Last night, Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray took home the Heisman Trophy, winning the award over Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa and Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins.

The big debate was between Murray and Tagovailoa, but most assumed throughout the season the most prestigious award in college football would come down to those three finalists. From there, the other contenders at various points of the year have been fluid, including Kentucky’s Benny Snell and Josh Allen finding their way into the conversation. Snell started the year with the momentum, and then Allen finished as the far-and-away best Wildcat contender.

We knew he wasn’t going to win, as Charles Woodson is the only defensive player to ever win the award. But everyone expected the most dominant pass-rusher in college football to receive at least a few votes.

After the dust settled last night, the final top-ten list with votes was released, and Josh Allen was nowhere to be seen.

To make matters worse, Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams was on the list, finishing No. 8 overall.

Take a look:

So the National and SEC Defensive Player of the Year doesn’t receive any votes, but the player Allen beat out for both awards did?

McKenzie Milton? Jonathan Taylor? Darrell Henderson? Come on now.
