Derrick Henry won the 2015 Heisman Trophy award.

During the season, Henry gained 1,986 yards on 339 carries, breaking Herschel Walker’s Southeastern Conference record. 

As his stature grew through the season, Henry supplanted an early Heisman favorite, Leonard Fournette of Louisiana State, who finished sixth in the voting, and seemed to improve as games wore on. 

It was the 20th-closest Heisman race ever. Henry’s 1,832 points beat Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey’s 1,539 points and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson’s 1,165.
