Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray wins the Heisman trophy

The trophy is awarded each year to 'most outstanding football player in the United States.' Murray's win marks the first time since 1945-46 that two different players from the same school won the award in back-to-back seasons.

'I've worked my whole life to fulfill my goals. There's a higher power looking down on me,' Murray said. 'This is an honor. It's something I'll never forget and something I'll cherish for the rest of my life.'

A fourth-year junior at the University of Oklahoma, Murray follows 2017 Heisman winner and fellow Sooner Baker Mayfield for the award. Mayfield, who now plays for the Cleveland Browns, tweeted his excitement Saturday night.
