For right now, I don't see the point in inviting anyone else. Jackson is the runaway winner.

Jalen Hurts - Legit Heisman candidate?

I wasn't implicating that Hurts would beat out Jackson. I just think it would be very cool for Hurts to get invited to the Heisman ceremony as a true freshman..

Even if JH is invited I would prefer he not go to NYC unless they knew he was going to win. For a freshman he has done very well and has not let things become a distraction. Going to NYC could be a huge distraction before the playoffs. He will most likely have another chance to go. RTR
I'll put a $1 on it that if somehow, Houston beats Louisville this Thursday, Lamar Jackson ain't getting that trophy. I'm not saying it will be Hurts, but I'm damn sure it won't be Jackson.
Never was an issue for Mark Ingram, AJ Mcarron and Derrick Henry.... They went to NY......
AJ threw two INTs in the game after he went on the award circuit. Not the best example.

Very possible, but I'm not sure who would jump ahead of him.

I would love to see Jalen there. Let him get that experience lose or win.

I think peppers, only because he is the other media darling. If Hurts went 300-100 the next two games, no interception/fumble, he still wouldn't get it. Invite, yes. Win, no.
Nobody has stopped LJax all year...Houston ain't going to stop him...this is a 2007 type year where the sheer impressiveness of his performances matter more than whatever his team's record ends up being. The only way Houston would lose it for him is if he has a stinker.
No doubt, I would love to see it because it means he finished the season dang strong and we're 13-0 heading into the playoffs.
The thread question was: Is Jalen Hurts a legit Heisman candidate ? The question has already been answered regardless of what happens next: the answer is an emphatic YES. The FACT that people all over the country are seriously including him in the conversation confirms it.
There's a decent chance he'll get invited to New York this year. Mainly because of the way the invitation is handled. I don't think there's a clear cut 2nd or 3rd place at the moment and they have to invite at least 3. They can invite up to 8 and the cut off point is determined by where the vote drops off dramatically. So if the vote for 2nd and 3rd is evenly spread out among several candidates they will all be invited. I think the average is 5 since they started inviting more than just the winner.
Jalen is about the tenth best player on the Alabama football team. He has no business going to New York, unless he's flying up there to accompany Jonathan Allen or Tim Williams at the ceremony.
In two years though, he could own that trophy. He's mighty darn good, but he has room for improvement.

You're right, but they're not about to invite a defensive player.
