Avast, me hearties! Aye, after five weeks of the college football season, USC's Caleb Williams and Washington's Michael Penix Jr. be the Heisman favorites, as declared by none other than Caesars Sportsbook. Arrr, may the winds of fortune blow in their favor!
After five weeks of college football, a few players have emerged as frontrunners for the prestigious Heisman Trophy. This award, given to the best player in college football, has been around since 1935. On December 9, 2023, one player will etch their name in history as one of the greatest to ever play the game.Caleb Williams, aiming to be the first back-to-back Heisman winner since 1975, is off to a fantastic start. He has thrown for 1,603 yards and 21 touchdowns in just five games. Williams leads the country in touchdowns and had a stellar performance against Colorado.
Michael Penix Jr. of Washington is also making a strong case for the Heisman. He leads the nation in passing yards and is tied for second in touchdown passes. Penix has been a standout left-handed quarterback in the Pac-12.
Quinn Ewers of Texas has his team undefeated and ranked third in the country. Although his stats may not be as impressive as Williams or Penix, Ewers has limited turnovers and has his eyes set on a College Football Playoff berth.
Bo Nix of Oregon is another quarterback to watch out for. He has been instrumental in leading the Ducks to a high-powered offense, with impressive numbers and a win against Stanford.
These players, along with a few others like Sam Hartman of Notre Dame and Jordan Travis of Florida State, are in the mix for the Heisman Trophy. As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see who emerges as the ultimate winner.
