Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma wins Heisman Trophy over Bryce Love, Lamar Jackson
Posted Dec 9, 2017
Since the NCAA began allowing athletic scholarships in 1950, no player to win the Heisman Trophy ever started his career as a walk-on. Baker Mayfield changed that Saturday. He collected 2,398 points in voting totals. Stanford running back Bryce Love was second with 1,300 points; Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, last year's Heisman winner, was third with 793.
