#5 - Finishing in the top three in the 2018 Heisman Trophy race
Haskins put together an incredible 2018 college football season that was one of the greatest statistical seasons by any quarterback in Ohio State football history.
He helped the Buckeyes earn an impressive 13-1 record while completing more than 70 percent of his passes for 4,831 yards and 50 touchdowns against just eight interceptions.
The excellent season earned Haskins a nomination for the 2018 Heisman Trophy and he was selected as one of the finalists to win the award. He ended up finishing third in the voting behind Tua Tagovailoa of Alabama, who finished second, and Kyler Murray of Oklahoma, who won the trophy that year.
#4 - Winning the starting quarterback job over Joe Burrow
The Ohio State Buckeyes had a legitimate quarterback competition prior to the 2018 college football season. With the departure of JT Barrett, it would be either Haskins or Joe Burrow who would earn the job as the starting quarterback.
While both quarterbacks showed plenty of promise, it was Haskins who was named the starting quarterback by head coach Urban Meyer. Burrow would eventually transfer to LSU, where he would get an opportunity to be a starter.
