The college football season will feature several talented players to watch each week and that can make it difficult when it comes to picking the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. We have formulated our pre-season Heisman Watch List and here are the favorites:
#1 TEXAS QB ARCH MANNING. Manning’s name goes hand-in-in hand with QB success. Arch is a household name around the country and the former #1 recruit can dazzle with his arm and legs.
#2 LSU QB GARRETT NUSSMEIER. The only QB returning with 4,000 plus yards passing.
#3 CLEMSON QB CADE KLUBNIK. Made huge strides last season in leading the Tigers to the CFP.
#4 OHIO STATE WR JEREMIAH SMITH. Smith’s name is being thrown around as the BEST to play at Ohio State.
#5 SOUTH CAROLINA QB LANORRIS SELLERS. Seller became one of College Football’s best passers in 2024.
#6 OREGON QB DANTE MOORE. Moore makes the list, not just because he is talented, but because he will be surrounded by talent.
#7 OHIO STATE QB JULIAN SAYIN. Sayin is a former 5-Star recruit and is surrounded by one of the best receiving corps in the nation.
#8 FLORIDA QB DJ LAGWAY. Lagway has one of the best arms in the nation.
#9 PENN STATE QB DREW ALLAR. Allar continues to grow at Penn State. He has plenty of talent around him to make a run at the trophy.
#10 MIAMI QB CARSON BECK. The former Georgia QB is coming off an injury. He was considered the crown jewel of the transfer portal
