C.J. Stroud says “I don't think it was fair” and “it will drive me for the rest of my life, probably” that he finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting.
The Ohio State quarterback wanted to win the Heisman Trophy after a stellar first season under center for the Buckeyes, and even though he thought Alabama’s Bryce Young was deserving of the honor,“I wasn't happy with the results at the end at all,” Stroud said at a Rose Bowl media event at Disneyland in Anaheim, California on Monday.
The California native has passed for 3,862 yards and 38 touchdowns with just five interceptions this year despite never having thrown a single pass at the collegiate level before the 2021 season opener, and Stroud has taken home plenty of accolades for his regular season efforts.to win the Big Ten’s Offensive Player of the Year, Quarterback of the Year and Freshman of the Year honors in the same season, and the Associated Press named him a third-team All-American.
“I'm blessed, but it's not good enough to me,” Stroud said. “I feel like I did a lot this season, but I could have definitely played better. But I feel like the stuff that I did do – I'm not saying I should have won. I think Bryce definitely did the most this year. He had the most opportunities. I think if I played a couple more games and I do the right things, maybe things go the other way, but I'm super happy for my brother.
