RG3 Captures the 2011 Heisman Trophy
With the exciting announcement that Robert Griffin III was the 2011 winner of college football's top individual award, Baylor University also captures its first Heisman Trophy.  

Griffin had a breakout season that included wins over TCU, Oklahoma, Kansas State and Texas.  While other school's recruited RG 3 to play another position, it was Baylor head coach Art Briles that told Griffin that if he came to Waco, he'd have a chance to compete for the QB position.  As the 2011 Heisman vote attests, Griffin III did that and much more!
