While the four finalists have yet to learn their Heisman Trophy placement, college football’s most prestigious award announced the fifth-through10th-place finishers on Friday night.
Colorado receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel and Miami quarterback Cam Ward will finish in the top four for the award as finalists who will attend the award ceremony in New York City on Saturday night.
The rest of the top 10 placers, who also had impressive seasons, had their finish revealed on Friday. One interesting tidbit about the top 10 Heisman finishers this season was that there wasn’t a single SEC player included, despite the conference being one of the strongest in the sport.
The rest of the non-finalist placers included Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo and Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke, to name a few.
Here’s the full list of fifth through 10th-place finishers in the Heisman Trophy voting:

Here are the top 10 Heisman Trophy finishers in 2024, as fifth through 10th place was announced Friday:
5th place: RB Cam Skattebo, Arizona State
6th place: QB Bryson Daily, Army
7th place: TE Tyler Warren, Penn State
8th place: QB Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
9th place: QB Kurtis Rourke, Indiana
10th place: QB Kyle McCord, Syracuse
Skattebo, who espoused his own Heisman candidacy after leading Arizona State to the College Football Playoff, came in at fifth place after rushing for 1,568 yards and 19 touchdowns on 263 carries. He also caught 37 passes for 506 yards with three touchdowns.
Sanders was also a notable addition, as the expected first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft threw for 3,926 yards with 35 touchdowns to eight interceptions this season. Hunter, his teammate, is the favorite to win the Heisman, however.
Army quarterback Bryson Daily came in at sixth place after having the best season rushing by any quarterback in college football, as he ran 264 times for 1,480 yards with a whopping 29 touchdowns in the Black Knights’ triple-option offense.
Penn State tight end Tyler Warren and Rourke finished seventh and ninth, respectively, with both competing for a national championship as their teams made the CFP. Tenth place went to Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord, who threw for 4,326 yards with 29 touchdowns to 12 interceptions in his first season after transferring from Ohio State.
