DeSean Bishop 'deserves' to be in Heisman Trophy conversationDan Harralson,
The Heisman Memorial Trophy will be awarded on Dec. 12 at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, New York.
Tennessee senior running back DeSean Bishop has recorded 1,066 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 196 attempts through nine games in 2026.
On Tuesday, Tennessee running backs coach De'Rail Sims discussed if Bishop deserves to be in the Heisman Trophy conversation with three games remaining in the regular season.
"There's no doubt about it," Sims said. "He deserves it. When you sit up here and look at his whole body of work and what he's been able to do. You have the ranked teams that we've played against, how he's gone out in the second half and he's been attacking that. Him as a whole entire person, when you sit up here and you talk about, 'okay, what is the Heisman trophy?' The best player in college football.
"That joker's story from where he came in as a freshman to where he is now, to how he sits over there and takes over games in the second half, how he's a teammate, how he leads the team, his faith value that he's about. When you sit up here and talk about the best player in college football, okay statistically, it is what it is, but the best player in college football for his team is D. Bishop."
