Mark Ingram winner of the 2009 Heisman Trophy by the closest vote in Heisman Trophy history. Mark Ingram is a Flint Southwestern graduate and a sophomore at the University of Alabama. Mark Ingram was also 2007 Journal Player of the Year. He is the first from the University of Alabama to ever win the honor. Ingram won the Heisman in the closest vote in the award's history, according to the Heisman Trophy website.
ESPN statement: "Few college football teams can match Alabama's history of success. The Crimson Tide dominated the Southeastern Conference for decades. With six AP national championships, only Notre Dame and Oklahoma have won more. But at Alabama, it's a coach who has towered over the program more than any player."
The other two finalists were Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, and Nebraska’s defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh.
In 2004, Utah celebrated its first ever Heisman football finalist with Utah quarterback Alex Smith.
