PROVO, Utah – BYU quarterback Zach Wilson is in the thick of the 2020 Heisman Trophy race. In order to win a Heisman race, a player will need to have “Heisman Moments” that catapult him to the top of a star-studded lineup.

As the site that started the #W1LSONHE1SMAN campaign, we feel he has a lot of “Heisman Moments” that should put him in a position to take home the presitigous hardware.

Here are the 10 “Heisman Moments” Zach Wilson has had through the first eight games of the 2020 season.
