The finalists for the 2017 Heisman Trophy were announced Monday night, with Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson and Stanford running back Bryce Love making the trip to New York City.

Among the players who did not receive an invite were Penn State running back Saquon Barkley and San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny. The victor of the award, which goes to college football's most outstanding player, will be revealed Saturday at the Downtown Athletic Club in NY. He has thrown for 4,340 yards and 41 touchdowns with only five interceptions in 13 games, completing 71% of his passes. Jackson's stats this season are nearly similar to his runaway Heisman campaign last season.

Mayfield has thrown a TD pass in a Big 12-record 39 consecutive games (every contest of his OU career), which is the third-longest streak in FBS history.

Since announcing his decision to return to Oklahoma, Mayfield has been open about his desire to win a national championship.

Mayfield has led the Sooners all season, leading them to their third straight Big 12 title and second appearance in the college football playoff. He accumulated 1,728 yards of total offense and scored 19 TDs, including 16 on the ground. He's also run for an additional 310 yards and five touchdowns.

Jackson improved as a passer, completing 60.4 percent of his passes for 3,489 yards and 25 touchdowns compared to just six interceptions.

Jackson rushed for 156 yards in the Cardinals' regular-season finale, breaking his own Louisville record for the most 100-yard rushing games in a season with nine.
