STANFORD, Calif. — Christian McCaffrey’s dash through the record books will end in New York.

The sophomore Stanford running back was named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy on Monday after a season in which he broke Barry Sanders’ 27-year-old NCAA record for all-purpose yards.

The other players invited to New York for the award ceremony are Alabama running back Derrick Henry and Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson.

McCaffrey’s season total of 3,496 rushing, receiving and return yards is 1,000 more than his closest competitor, San Jose State’s Tyler Ervin.

McCaffrey is also fifth in the nation in rushing (142.1 yards per game) and leads Stanford in receptions (41). He rushed for 13 TDs and threw for two more.

Henry, considered the favorite for the trophy, set a Southeastern Conference record with 1,986 yards and had 23 touchdowns.

Watson is the only player in the country who has surpassed 800 yards rushing (887) and 3,500 yards passing (3,512), and he has accounted for 41 touchdowns. He would be Clemson’s first Heisman winner.
