Lanning getting Heisman votes

Can you imagine the hype and campaign if this keeps its current momentum? Albeit, he needs double digit tackles, TO recoveries, and an occasional rush for TD would be needed for sure. I think most people from what I read don't see this as a novelty.
 
Welch if Lanning gets Heisman invite.

I saw a reference to Lanning in the USA Today on Tuesday in an article about Heisman votes.

"The Iowa State defeat of Oklahoma also earned a couple of mentions for Cyclones linebacker and occasional quarterback Joel Lanning."

The chart showed Lanning getting two 3rd place votes.
 
But, but, but, "he's not even the best LB in the state!!!". The horror...

Wow, awesome for Joel! And such a Team player to boot. Lot of season left.
 
Paul Horning Award. Was disappointed when I read that the on-line votes count only one vote.

Fan voting for the 2017 Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse is now open! Cast your vote below for your favorite player. And remember, you can vote once every 24 hours.

A national selection committee comprised of 17 sports journalists and former NFL stars votes for the Hornung Award finalists and the winner, with YOUR fan vote comprising the 18th vote.
 
Lanning has lapped the field on the Horning vote. At about 6:30 10/11/17, he had a few tenths over 67% of the votes. More than twice the total of the rest of the field.
