Lopez was elated afterward, as he's a champion at just 22 years of age. He has a habit of career-changing moments on Heisman night, and Lopez rocked a Joe Burrow jersey to celebrate his latest feat afterward.

This says more about the Heisman ceremony than Lopez, as the champ knew Burrow was bound to win and planned accordingly.
When asked about his future plans, Lopez stressed he wanted to enjoy the New Year and discuss later fights come 2020.
