He and Anderson gave Alabama its 10th and 11th top-five finishers in the decorated Saban era, the four winners plus running back Trent Richardson (third, 2011), quarterback A.J. McCarron (second, 2013), wide receiver Amari Cooper (third, 2014), quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (second, 2018), quarterback Mac Jones (third, 2020), running back Najee Harris (fifth, 2020) and Anderson. Before Ingram’s win in 2009 loosed this barrage, the highest finish by an Alabama player in Heisman voting had been wide receiver and kick returner David Palmer, who finished third in 1993 behind Charlie Ward of Florida State and Heath Shuler of Tennessee.
