The four Heisman Trophy finalists were revealed earlier this week, but a winner will be announced tonight in New York.

Colorado star Travis Hunter, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, Miami quarterback Cam Ward and the Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel were all invited to attend the ceremony. Hunter and Jeanty remain the heavy favorites to win the award.

Hunter won several awards, including the Walter Camp Award (college player of the year), the Biletnikoff Award (best receiver) and the Bednarik Award (best defensive player) on Thursday. He was also named the AP College Football Player of the Year.

Jeanty was also recognized with notable awards including the Maxwell Award (college player of the year) and the Doak Walker Award (top running back). Ward won the Davey O’Brien Award, presented to the top quarterback in the country. Gabriel didn’t receive any major awards this week, but has helped lead the Ducks to the top seed in the College Football Playoff bracket.
