In 2023, the race for the Heisman Trophy was all over the map from the start of the season, until<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the final weeks of the schedule. Caleb Williams, Bo Nix, and Michael Penix Jr. were all the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
favorites at one point of the season, but in the end, LSU\u2019s Jayden Daniels emerged as the<\/p>\n\n\n\n
winner. He was the overwhelming favorite by the end of the season but was as +2000 earlier in<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the year. So who are the players in the mix in 2024 and is there a sleeper pick who could come<\/p>\n\n\n\n
out of nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dillon Gabriel, Oregon Ducks (+500)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From the moment Dillon Gabriel announced his decision to transfer to Oregon, he was instantly<\/p>\n\n\n\n considered a Heisman contender. Gabriel was stellar at Central Florida (UCF) and Oklahoma<\/p>\n\n\n\n throwing for nearly 16,000 yards and 125 touchdowns in just 49 starts. He\u2019ll benefit from<\/p>\n\n\n\n offensive coordinator Will Stein\u2019s high-octane offense which includes two of the best receivers in<\/p>\n\n\n\n the nation in Tez Johnson and Evan Stewart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carson Beck, Georgia Bulldogs (+750)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Carson Beck is favored to go first overall in the 2025 NFL Draft (+375) and is coming off a 13-1<\/p>\n\n\n\n record in his first season as the starter in Athens. He may not be as electrifying or dynamic as<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jayden Williams and Caleb Williams, but he’s an efficient passer and helped Georgia rack up 40<\/p>\n\n\n\n points per game, fifth most in the country.). Beck threw for nearly 4000 yards, 24 touchdowns<\/p>\n\n\n\n and completed more than 72% of his passes. The Bulldogs are once again a favorite to win the<\/p>\n\n\n\n national title, making Beck the logical choice to win the Heisman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quinn Ewers, Texas Longhorns (+900)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Quinn Ewers led the Longhorns to their first Big 12 title since 2009 and first playoff appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Texas was 12-2 and Ewers was a big reason why, throwing for almost 3,500 yards and 22<\/p>\n\n\n\n touchdowns. The program now heads to the SEC and Ewers junior season could be even<\/p>\n\n\n\n better than what we saw in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Garrett Nussmeier, LSU Tigers (+2500)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n LSU has produced two of the last five Heisman winners, so why now three in six?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Garrett Nussmeier takes over from Jayden Daniels and goes into his fourth season in Baton<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rouge. He\u2019s had just one start in his career, that coming in the Reliaquest Bowl against<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wisconsin. Nussmeier threw for almost 400 yards, 3 scores and earned MVP for the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PRIME TIME LONGSHOT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shedeur Sanders, Colorado Buffaloes (+2800)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n He\u2019s one of the biggest names in college football and the son of a legend. Colorado’s Shedeur<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sanders is also considered a possibility to go number one in the 2025 NFL Draft. While the<\/p>\n\n\n\n Buffaloes now play in the Big 12, and are considered one of the bottom teams in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n conference, Sanders will still look to solidify his stock leading into the draft. Despite going 4-8<\/p>\n\n\n\n last year, the pivot threw for 3,230 yards and 31 total touchdowns. The talent is there, but will<\/p>\n\n\n\n the rest of the roster be good enough for him to have a legitimate shot of winning the Heisman<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trophy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2024-25 Heisman Winner Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dillon Gabriel (Oregon) +500<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carson Beck (Georgia) +750<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quinn Ewers (Texas) +900<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nico Imaleava (Tennessee) +1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss) +1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jalen Milroe (Alabama) +1600<\/p>\n\n\n\n Will Howard (Ohio State) +2000<\/p>\n\n\n\n Garrett Nussmeier (LSU) +2500<\/p>\n\n\n\n Riley Leonard (Notre Dame) +2500 In 2023, the race for the Heisman Trophy was all over the map from the start of the season, until…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":25155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25154"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25156,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25154\/revisions\/25156"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
