Derrick Henry wins Heisman Trophy

Alabama junior running back Derrick Henry won the 2015 Heisman Trophy over Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey, and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson. Today’s ceremony in New York City followed a rare trifecta at the ESPN Home Depot College Football awards on Thursday. The Alabama standout took the Maxwell Award (best college football player,) Walter Camp Award (player of the year,) and the Doak Walker Award (best running back.) Despite his performance this year, Henry was not the top choice among all pundits. Al.com reports Sports Illustrated polled its reporting staff, which put Henry third in Heisman voting, behind Watson and McCaffrey.
