Tim Tebow is the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. Tebow this season became the first "20-20" player in Division I-A football history: He both ran and threw for at least 20 touchdowns. He finished the regular season with 3,132 passing yards and 29 touchdowns (against six interceptions), and he also ran for 838 yards and 22 touchdowns.

His 51 total touchdowns were more than 87 Division I-A teams.

Tebow received the most votes from a nationwide panel and is the first Southeastern Conference player to win the award since Florida quarterback Danny Wuerffel in 1996. Tebow also is the first player to win it whose team is not playing for the national title since USC quarterback Carson Palmer in 2002.

The other finalists were Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan, Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel and Arkansas tailback Darren McFadden.

Tebow and the Gators (9-3) meet Michigan in the Jan. 1 Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Fla. He will try to become just the third Heisman winner this decade to win a bowl, joining USC quarterback Matt Leinart (2004) and USC's Palmer (2002).

Tebow, a first-year starter, is the third Florida player to win the award, following Wuerffel and Steve Spurrier (1966).
