The New Mexico State football program won their first Heisman Trophy in school history when QB Shane Leno was selected by the Downtown Athletic Club as this year's winner.  

Leno led one of the top offense in college football in 2022, but was considered a longshot due to the comeptition that NM State faced.  Leno throws a beautiful deep pass and the long ball was a big part of the Aggies offense.  Leno was fearless in throwing into tight windows with his quick release.  He played well inside and outside of the pocket which made him hard for opposing defenses to scheme around.  

Leno is considered a top 5 prospect in the upcoming SFL draft and the #2 QB behind South Dakota State's Brandon Campbell.  Leno's level of competition in college may count against him when SFL owners are considering the QB position so he might fall a little in the draft, but he looks to be a sure 1st round pick.
