ESPN: Trevone Boykin, Samaje Perine give Big 12 Heisman heavyweights for 2015
Not long ago, the Heisman Trophy ran through Big 12 country.
From 1998 to 2011, the Big 12 produced five Heisman winners in Ricky Williams, Eric Crouch, Jason White, Sam Bradford and Robert Griffin III. Others, like Josh Heupel, Adrian Peterson and Vince Young, were worthy runners-up.
Lately, though, the Big 12 has been in a Heisman drought.
No winners since 2011.
No finalists since 2012.
That, however, could change in big way next season.
The Big 12 figures to boast a pair of preseason Heisman heavyweights in TCU fleet-footed quarterback Trevone Boykin and Oklahoma bulldozing running back Samaje Perine.
