2024 Heisman Trophy vote results: Ashton Jeanty suffers narrow miss falling to Travis Hunter in final race

The 2024 Heisman Trophy was officially awarded on Saturday night in New York City. Colorado Buffaloes two-way star Travis Hunter became the fifth non-quarterback to win the biggest individual honor in college football. However, the voting results show that it was a two-man race.

This year, there were 928 electors for the award. That is broken down to 870 media members, the 57 living Heisman Trophy winners, and one fan vote. Each person has a first, second, and third-place vote.

Calculating the winner is based on the total points and not necessarily the number of first-place votes. A first-place vote is three points, second-place is two points, and third-place is one point.

This year's award had the smallest margin of victory since 2009 as Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty fell 214 points shy of Hunter.

Hunter finished with 2,231 points, with Jeanty managing 2,017.

However, Hunter had more than 240 first-place votes than his closest competitor.

Who could be in the running for the 2025 Heisman Trophy?

Now that the 2024 Heisman Trophy has been given out, people are wondering what the 2025 race will look like. All four of the finalists will likely be leaving college football and beginning their professional careers so who has a shot at the 2025 Heisman Trophy?

Arch Manning is expected to get the reins of the Texas Longhorns after sitting behind Quinn Ewers for two seasons. He has nine touchdowns to two interceptions in eight games. Expect him to be one of the favorites early on.

Another name is SMU Mustangs quarterback Kevin Jennings, who stepped up once taking over the team during the third game of the season.

They lost in the ACC Championship Game, but he had 27 total touchdowns and completed 66% of his passes. With the ability to use his legs as a weapon, expect his numbers to tick up and the Mustangs to be more of a force next year.
