NEW YORK, NY — Born into a family of Cornhuskers and raised in the Buckeye state, Joe Burrow left his roots behind and became a Heisman Trophy winner at LSU, AP reported.

Quarterback Burrow won the coveted trophy Saturday night in a record-breaking landslide, becoming the first LSU player to bring college football’s most prestigious award back to Baton Rouge in 60 years.

The 23-year-old said he’d never cried so much in all his years alive.

Burrow took to the PlayStation Theater stage in Times Square, hugging parents and coaches, took a 23 second pause to gather him, then started naming all of LSU’s other offensive players.

Burrow is the 17th quarterback to win the Heisman since 2000, and the third straight QB to win the award after transferring, joining Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield (2017) and Kyler Murray (2018), AP reported.
