The Heisman Trophy committee has declared the four finalists for the 2023 award, and Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe is not among them.
Even after leading the Crimson Tide to a victory over Georgia in the SEC championship game, the committee has chosen LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, Oregon quarterback Bo Nix, Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.
Harrison is likely who took Milroe’s place, as the three quarterbacks selected were expected to make the trip to New York. Daniels is expected to win the award after his stellar season with the Tigers.
However, some college fans felt that Milroe should’ve been included in the bunch after he helped the Crimson Tide make the College Football Playoff.
—Alabama QB Jalen Milroe should've damn well been a Heisman finalist.
—He beat a two-time national champion Georgia that had won 29-straight.
—He beat Jayden Daniels' LSU.
—He vaulted a one-loss Bama into the CFP over a 13-0 P5 champion Florida State.

I love Marvin Harrison Jr but how is he an Heisman candidate over Jalen Milroe? I’m not quite understanding. https://t.co/kPcVFLnr0p

Is the Heisman about storylines and how valuable a player is for his team? If so, then I don’t understand how Alabama QB Jalen Milroe is not a finalist. 3,506 all purpose yards, 35 touchdowns, and the 9th best QBR (83.6). He single handily led Alabama to the playoffs. https://t.co/JLWI2KV4LX
