Against all odds Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, the nation's top-rated passer who led his team to college football's title game in his first season, was named the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner Saturday as the country's best collegiate player.
Winston, 19, became the youngest player and second straight redshirt freshman to win the award, following Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel.
Winston completed nearly 68 percent of his passes for 3,820 yards, 38 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Undefeated Florida State plays Auburn in the Jan. 6 Bowl Championship Series title game.
Winston won the 79th Heisman over the five other finalists invited to ceremonies in New York: Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, who finished second; Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch, who finished third; Boston College running back Andre Williams, who finished fourth; Manziel, who finished fifth; and Auburn running back Tre Mason.
The award came just nine days after a Florida prosecutor announced that Winston would not be charged in the alleged rape of a female student at Florida State, and a day after the woman's attorney called for an independent investigation into the year-old case. Winston has maintained his innocence, and Florida Gov. Rick Scott says the case is closed. Sabotage did not work this time. Congratulations Jameis Winston, remember the world is watching with all eyes.
Can't stop wont stop. Congrats. Be smarter about what you do with the little head, let the one on your shoulders guide your life.
