Derrick Thomas 1988. It's not controversial in any way because Barry Sanders had an all time great season.

Tomlinson

Had he played in one of the major conferences for a powerhouse team he would have easily won the Heisman

He finished behind Weinke, Heupel, and Brees all of whom were shite Heisman candidates

Are you asking for the best college player to never win a Heisman, period? Or the best player to never win a Heisman that actually had a chance to win one?

Because Orlando Pace is the best college football player that never won a Heisman. He might be the best college football player ever at any position. He’s certainly the only guy that has unquestionably been the best player at his position in college for three consecutive seasons.

David Klinger. In his Junior year, Houston went 10-1 and finished 2nd in the SWC behind Texas.

Klinger has ungodly stats. In 11 games he threw for over 5K yards and over 50 TDs. He ended up coming in 5th place in Heisman voting.

Ty Detmer won the award. Rocket was 2nd. Detmer threw 28 ints that season..

Vince Young. The media’s infatuation with USC may have given Reggie the trophy, but Vince carried a team that had no business even playing for a title into the championship game and defeated the media’s “greatest college team of all time”

Imma go ahead and just assume you forgot about Hugh Green, and not that you would be that intentionally disrespectful to tGOAT college football defensive player.

Lol

That Texas team was loaded. They destroyed the Big 12 that year. They could’ve put 100 on Colorado in the Big 12 CG.

The Rocket should've won over Detmer.
