Looking to watch the 2019 Heisman Trophy Ceremony? Here’s what you need to watch college football’s biggest award be given out.
It’s just about time for college football’s most prestigious award to be handed out. The 2019 Heisman Trophy will be awarded tonight as the best of the best players in college football flock to New York to be recognized for their achievements.
And this is the first time since 2016 that more than three finalists will be in New York for the ceremony.
LSU’s Joe Burrow highlights the field as the leader of the pack as he’s taken the Southeastern Conference and the college football world by storm in 2019. The star quarterback arrived in Baton Rouge after starting out at Ohio State and has become arguably the most successful player to ever take the field for the Tigers.
Ohio State is sending two finalists to New York as dominant defensive end Chase Young and stellar quarterback Justin Fields are in the discussion. Young and Fields have been instrumental in Ohio State’s dominance over Big Ten foes all season and the duo is a big reason why the Buckeyes might win the national title this season.
And the final finalist, Jalen Hurts, is the third consecutive transfer quarterback to arrive at Oklahoma and then make it into the Heisman discussion. He hasn’t quite captured headlines the way that Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray did, but he’s been an incredibly productive and highly underrated force for the Sooners, helping OU make it into the playoffs.

Predictably, there’s plenty of pageantry surrounding and during the event and there’s plenty of history happening with this particular group of finalists. In addition to the fact that there are more than three finalists for the first time in a few years, Young is also the first defensive lineman in a decade to be a finalist.
Plus, none of the three quarterbacks started their remarkable college careers with their current teams. With three of the four finalists being quarterbacks who transferred to arrive at their current destinations, plenty of stories will be told about how they arrived where they are and why their new locations have worked out so well for them.
