There is no denying that the players you’ll see during the Heisman Trophy ceremony on Saturday night meet that mandate to varying degrees.
Travis Hunter has not just performed outstandingly at one position; he’s dominated at two. There is no doubting his ability, which is as rare as we’ve ever seen on the football field. He has persevered against criticism and worked hard to spend more time on a football field than any other player.
Entering the Heisman Trophy ceremony, Ashton Jeanty is the epitome of outstanding. He can still break longstanding running back records, putting him amongst elite company. As a Group of Five contender, the work has been harder to achieve national recognition. As a standard bearer for Boise State Broncos football, his integrity is unmatched.
Dillon Gabriel has led the Oregon Ducks to being the number-one ranked team in the country, winning the Big Ten title at the first time of asking, out-dueling every opponent placed in front of him. After a long career of hard work and handling his business at multiple spots, his hard work, perseverance, and integrity is now being rewarded as his record-setting career nears an end.
Finally, has anyone had to work harder than Cam Ward to keep their team relevant in 2024? While game mismanagement and defensive fragilities curtailed a College Football Playoff run, Ward single-handedly kept the Miami Hurricanes at the forefront of the chase. His journey from being underrecruited to the Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York meets the mantra at every turn.
