Bryson For Heisman? Army Coach Believes He Deserves Consideration

Army quarterback Christian Anderson has rushed for 1,210 yards and 15 touchdowns through nine games this season. He has also passed for 758 yards and four touchdowns.

His performance has led many to believe that he is a legitimate candidate for the Heisman Trophy, which is awarded to the most outstanding player in college football.

Army head coach Jeff Monken is one of those who believes that Anderson deserves consideration for the award.

“I think he’s as good a player as there is in the country,” Monken said.

“He can do it all. He can run, he can throw, he can make plays with his feet, he can make plays with his arm. He’s a very intelligent player. He’s a tough player. He’s a winner.”

Anderson has led Army to a 7-2 record this season, including a win over Air Force. The Black Knights are currently ranked No. 22 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Anderson’s Heisman candidacy is not without its skeptics. Some argue that he plays for a service academy, which means he does not face the same level of competition as players from Power Five schools.

Others argue that Anderson’s statistics are not as impressive as those of some of the other Heisman candidates.

However, there is no doubt that Anderson has been one of the most impressive players in college football this season. He is a dual-threat quarterback who can beat teams with his arm and his legs. He is also a leader on and off the field.

Whether or not Anderson wins the Heisman Trophy, he has already cemented his place as one of the best players in college football.

Heisman History

The Heisman Trophy is the most prestigious individual award in college football. It is awarded annually to the player who is judged to be the most outstanding in the United States.

The trophy was first awarded in 1935 to Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago.

Since then, it has been awarded to some of the greatest players in college football history, including Roger Staubach, Archie Manning, Barry Sanders, and Tim Tebow.

To be eligible for the Heisman Trophy, a player must be a full-time starter at a four-year college or university in the United States.

The player must also be a United States citizen or a permanent resident.

The winner of the Heisman Trophy is selected by a vote of sportswriters, broadcasters, and former Heisman Trophy winners.

The voting process is conducted by the Heisman Trophy Trust, which is a non-profit organization.

Past Winners from Service Academies

Only two players from service academies have ever won the Heisman Trophy.

The first was Doc Blanchard of the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1945.

The second was Glenn Davis of the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1946.

Both Blanchard and Davis were running backs. They played in an era when the service academies were more competitive with the major college football powers.

Since then, no player from a service academy has won the Heisman Trophy.

Anderson’s Heisman Chances

Christian Anderson is a long shot to win the Heisman Trophy. He is not as well-known as some of the other candidates, and he plays for a service academy.

However, Anderson has a few things going for him. He is a very talented player, and he has led Army to a successful season.

If Anderson continues to play well, he could make a run at the Heisman Trophy.

However, it is important to remember that the Heisman Trophy is a popularity contest as much as anything else.

Anderson will need to get a lot of votes from sportswriters, broadcasters, and former Heisman Trophy winners if he wants to win the award.

Conclusion

Christian Anderson is a talented player who is having a great season. He is a long shot to win the Heisman Trophy, but he has a chance if he continues to play well.

Whether or not Anderson wins the Heisman Trophy, he has already cemented his place as one of the best players in college football.
