Tim Tebow has been named as a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, earning a trip to New York City for the official announcement this weekend.
“It's a great honor for Tim to be invited to the Heisman Trophy presentation in New York City,” head coach
Urban Meyer
said. “After an evaluation of the entire season, I find it hard to believe that Tim's performance week-in and week-out would not put him in a position to win the Heisman Trophy. He has done things that no one else in college football has been able to do and I hope people realize the magnitude of his accomplishments.”
If chosen,
Tim Tebow
would become the third
Florida
quarterback to raise the Heisman Trophy. Danny Wuerffel won the award in 1996, and Steve Spurrier became the first Gator to win the award back in 1966.
Tebow could also become the first underclassmen to win the prestigious award after putting up unprecedented numbers this season. Tebow became the first quarterback in NCAA history to rush and pass for more than 20 touchdowns each. He led the SEC in pass efficiency, total offense and total scoring and accounted for 51 touchdowns, setting an SEC record.
Tebow will join
Arkansas
running back
Darren McFadden
,
Hawaii
quarterback
Colt Brennan
and
Missouri
quarterback
Chase Daniel
as finalists.
The winner will be announced on ESPN Saturday night at 8 p.m.
