NEW YORK (AP) _ Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson is a Heisman Trophy finalist for the second consecutive season, joining Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, Michigan linebacker Jabrill Peppers and Oklahoma teammates Baker Mayfield and Dede Westbrook.



The finalists were announced Monday on ESPN and the award will be presented Saturday in New York.



Watson finished third in last year’s voting, won by Alabama running back

Derrick Henry. Just like last year, he heads to New York not as the favorite but as the contender coming on strong at the end.
