Wendy's Heisman High School Finalist... Dillon Langley


Heisman Hopeful, Dillon Langley


And the Heisman goes to? Words of anticipation that elite college athletes look forward to hearing at some point in their college career. It is also words that one Fox High School student looks forward to hearing before the college Heisman is handed out on ESPN this December. Dillon Langley is one of Oklahoma finalists for the Wendy's High School Heisman. Dillon applied for the Heisman in August and found out today that he is one of only 20 Seniors in the entire state of Oklahoma that was selected as a finalist. Dillon will found out November 4th if he is the state winner of the Wendy's High School Heisman.

Since 1994, the Wendy’s High School Heisman Program has honored more than 250,000 of the nation’s most esteemed high school seniors in partnership with the Heisman Memorial Trophy® Committee. The leadership award-honorees are well-rounded young men and woman who excel in learning, performing, and leading in the class room, on the field and in the community.

Like The Heisman Memorial Trophy, the Wendy’s program believes in the pursuit of athletic and academic excellence with integrity. And in addition to honoring student accomplishments, the Wendy’s High School Heisman Program inspires all future high school students to pursue their higher education goals.

Every year, the Wendy’s High School Heisman Program and The Heisman Memorial Trophy team up to recognize our nation’s most esteemed high school Seniors. The culmination of this process takes place in December in conjunction with the National Heisman Memorial Trophy presentation during Heisman Weekend in New York City. It’s here where Wendy’s selects its National High School Heisman Winners during a broadcast on ESPN networks. This partnership ensures that high school winners enjoy the prestige of national recognition for their tremendous achievements.

There has only been one other Fox student to be nominated and receive the Wendy's state finalist stature and that was Trey Roundtree in the mid to early 2000's. When we asked Dillon about the Heisman, he said, "I feel honored to be chosen for this award. It would be nice to win it, but what I want more is for us to win a state championship this season."
