State Heisman winner: Gerald McCoy?

Suppose that there was such a thing as a state Heisman Trophy and you could only vote for players from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Tulsa. Who would you vote for?
Here's my ballot:
1, Gerald McCoy, defensive tackle, Oklahoma. I probably wouldn't have put him at the top before last Saturday, but the Bedlam shutout was a clincher.
2, Keith Toston, running back, Oklahoma State. You've got to be impressed with a guy who began the season as a backup and winds up first-team All-Big 12. Toston has rushed for more career yards than the player (Kendall Hunter) who began this season as a starter. Plus, Toston has got a great birthday (May 6, same as Willie Mays).
3, Damaris Johnson, receiver and kick returner, Tulsa. All he's doing is leading the nation in all-purpose yards. Inch for inch, he's one of the most dangerous players in football.
I could also make an argument for: Perrish Cox (great senior season at cornerback and he's the Big 12's career kickoff return leader), Ryan Broyles (Sooner offense would be sunk without him), Mike Bryan (not the senior season he envisioned, but I like how he handles himself).

Damaris Johnson...hands down. TU really should start talking him up for the Heisman for both his junior and senior seasons. He has the ability and talents to completely take over and dominate games.
