So, I’ve been digging into this whole Heisman Trophy finalist thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started by gathering some information on who the potential finalists were. I made a big list of names that were popping up in articles and sports news. Names like Jayden Daniels, Travis Hunter, Dillon Gabriel, Cam Ward, and Ashton Jeanty kept coming up.
Next, I tried to find some information about these players. I wrote down their stats and what they were known for. For example, I found out that Jayden Daniels was a quarterback for LSU and that he had a really great season, even though LSU didn’t win all of their games. I jotted down that he’s only the second quarterback to win the Heisman with so many losses. And about Dillon Gabriel, I learned that he’s a quarterback for Oregon, and he had an amazing completion percentage and a ton of touchdowns.
Then I started narrowing down the list.
- I scratched off names that seemed less likely to make the final cut.
- I focused on the players who were consistently being mentioned as top contenders. This part was kinda tricky, like trying to guess who’s gonna win a game before it’s even played.
Diving Deeper into Stats
After getting my list down to a few key players, I dug deeper into their stats. I compared their performances throughout the season, looking at things like passing yards, touchdowns, interceptions. I felt like a real sports analyst, comparing these numbers. It was pretty cool to see how these guys stacked up against each other.
I also read up on what sports analysts were saying about these players. I grabbed some opinions from different sources, trying to get a feel for who the experts thought had the best shot at winning. This helped me get a better sense of each player’s strengths and weaknesses.
Predicting the Finalists
Based on all the information I gathered, I made my predictions for who the finalists would be. I felt pretty confident about some of my picks, but there were definitely a few that I wasn’t sure about. It’s tough to predict these things, you know? There’s always that element of surprise.
I ended up with a list of four names that I thought would be announced as the 2024 Heisman Trophy finalists. It was a mix of quarterbacks and even a cornerback/wide receiver, which is pretty unusual. I felt like I had a good grasp of who the top contenders were, but I was still anxious to see if I was right.
Finally, the official announcement came, and I was pretty close! I got some of them right, and a couple were off. It was a good reminder that even with all the research and analysis, there’s always room for surprises in sports. Overall, it was a fun and interesting experience diving into the world of Heisman Trophy predictions. I learned a lot about the players and the process, and I’m already looking forward to doing it again next year!
