Akron backup QB Robbie Kelley is currently in 8th place in online Heisman voting.

Utah fans were trying to get Tyler Huntley into the Heisman conversation. They started the hashtag #HuntleyForHeisman and even setup a website to track the vote online. They figured out that you didn't have to vote for only the people on the Nissan Heisman House ballots. There's a drop down where you can write-in your own candidate.

I've been keeping an eye on this site because Heisman voting closes today and I've noticed that since Utah's loss, the Huntley vote has dropped off dramatically while Joe Burrow continues to steamroll forward, but yesterday I noticed that Akron backup quarterback, Robbie Kelley, was mounting a write-in campaign of his own. When I noticed it, he was in 11th place, and now he's up to 8th place in the voting.

I'm pretty sure this is just a bunch of Akron students having fun, considering that Robbie's stats from this year are 10 for 28, 75 yards, 0 TDs, and 3 INTs. That sounds like someone just had a bad first half, but that's Robbie's stats over 8 games played.

What's even more amazing (hilarious) is that he's ahead of Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Chase Young, and Justin Herbert in the voting. I also think that Nissan is contractually obligated to give a Heisman vote to whomever wins the online voting, so it would be extra funny if somehow or another this guy manages to jump Joe Burrow and Nissan has to give him the vote.

EDIT: He's now up to 7th!

Update: Looks like the vote server is getting hugged to death, but it's coming in and out of life. I was just able to grab a screen shot of the vote tally and he's up to nearly 2% of the vote.

Update 2: It looks like voting has closed, and to top it off, Florida has decided to hack the vote and pushed Kyle Trask ahead of our guy. Even with voting closed, Trask continues to receive THOUSANDS of votes. SEE FLORIDA, THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS.

Update 3: Ok, some vote were still being tallied evidently and they've been stopped for some time now. Robbie Kelley finished in 4th place with 14,102 votes just ahead of Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa. Congrats r/CFB. You did it.
