Devonta Smith wins the Heisman Trophy to become Alabama's third winner in program history, and did so in remarkable fashion.
After Jaylen Waddle went down with a leg injury earlier this season, Smith solidified himself as the Tide's best receiver. In the five games following Waddle's injury, Smith went on a tear recording 46 catches for 953 yards and 15 touchdowns which propelled him into the Heisman conversation.
He continued to amaze fans in the SEC championship and College Football Playoff semifinal by clipping 22 total receptions, 314 yards and 5 touchdowns, and he quickly became the Heisman favorite as he continued to perform.
Smith heads into the national championship game with 105 receptions for 1641 yards, an average of almost 16 yards per reception, and 22 total touchdowns.
Creg and Randy shared the same opinion for their Heisman ballots with Devonta Smith receiving their first place votes, followed by Mac Jones, Kyle Trask, and Trevor Lawrence.
Smith finished with 447 first place votes, more than doubling Trevor Lawrence's 222 first place votes. Mac Jones and Kyle Trask finished with 138 and 61 first place votes.
Smith becomes the first wide receiver to win the award since Desmond Howard in 1991.
