Alabama senior wide receiver DeVonta Smith made history Tuesday night, becoming the first WR to win the Heisman Trophy since 1991, when Michigan’s Desmond Howard won the award.
Smith, who had another monster game in the Crimson Tide’s playoff win over Notre Dame last Friday, finished with 447 first-place votes. Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence finished second with 222 first place votes.
After winning the award Smith gave an inspiring speech in which he told young kids who might be on the smaller side to not give up and to keep pushing and following their dreams of becoming a football star.
Here’s his entire speech:
Well said.
Here’s how the voting played out:
