Down the stretch of the season, the Heisman Trophy race seemed to be between Colorado DB/WR Travis Hunter and Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty. In fact, it seems likely that 1 of those 2 superstars will win.
But now we know who will be in attendance in New York City on Saturday, Dec. 14, for the Heisman Trophy ceremony.

Jeanty has been incredible for the Broncos, posting 2,497 rush yards and 29 touchdowns on the ground while adding 20 catches for 116 yards and another score.
