But if Ingram is indeed named the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner, he would be taking the podium at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square with a heavy heart. The man he claims to be responsible for his Heisman candidacy, his father Mark Ingram Sr., will not be able to attend the ceremony for the most prestigious award in college football on Saturday.
The former wide receiver for the Super Bowl champion New York Giants will have to watch the presentation on a small television at the Geo Queens Private Correctional Facility just a few miles away.
Mark Jr., who claims to still have a great relationship with his father, says he’ll be thinking of him that night. "I talk to my dad about two or three times a week," he said. "He's real proud of me. He's excited and he's doing fine.
"I'm sure it's frustrating for him that he can't be here, but it is what it is. You have to keep living and you have to learn from your mistakes. He's a better man for what he's been through, and I'm a better man because I've learned from stuff he's been through. I know he's here in spirit and I love him and he loves me, too, and that's all that matters."
