re: Say LSU goes 9-3 this season and finishes with a strong bowl win

If Devin White continues the play he has had so far this year. Next year he will get Heisman mentions. The dude is setting it on fire from that MLB position.

there's just zero chance of this happening.

Usually, the only way a defender gets Heisman love is when they have a lot of flashy plays, such as playing some offense, returning punts, pick-6s, scoop and scores, etc. (Charles Woodson, Honey Badger, Jabrill Peppers)

Usually, being a really good LB isn't enough.

Now I think that's unfortunate, because it excludes half of college players from Heisman contention, but it's the way it is.
