Despite his team losing last weekend, Travis Hunter’s odds to capture the Heisman Trophy actually improved. However, if the Buffaloes miss the playoffs, the door may open for a few others to take it away from Hunter. Check the full odds from BetOnline.
TRAVIS HUNTER, COLORADO (-1000)
2024 Stats:
- 82 Receptions
- 1,036 Yards
- 11 TD
- 31 Tackles
- 3 INT
- 9 Pass Breakups
- 1 Forced Fumble
Looking at these numbers, it's no wonder Travis Hunter is a massive favorite. The two-way star was dominant on both sides of the ball against Kansas, with 8 catches, 125 yards, and two touchdowns, while recording a career-best seven total tackles and adding a pass breakup to boot.
ASHTON JEANTY, BOISE STATE (+550)
2024 Stats:
- 275 Carries
- 2,062 Yards
- 27 TD
- 18 Receptions
- 102 Yards
- 1 TD
Not many had Ashton Jeanty on the Heisman Trophy list in the preseason, but the running back has been the most exciting player in college football, putting up eye-popping stats. He’s torched defenses with an astonishing 7.5 yards per carry and 27 touchdowns. It would be rather stunning to see him win, but if he can break Barry Sanders’ single-season NCAA rushing yards record, voters may be inclined to throw some votes his way.
CAM WARD, MIAMI (+1400)
2024 Stats:
- 3,774 Yards
- 34 TD
- 7 INT
- 177 Rush Yards
- 4 TDs
Cam Ward has been incredible for the Hurricanes, leading his squad to multiple comeback wins. The QB leads the nation with 34 touchdown passes and is second with 3,774 yards. He’ll need to shine in the final game of the season to have a real shot, but at the very least, Ward should be a finalist for the Heisman.
DILLON GABRIEL, OREGON (+5000)
2024 Stats:
- 3,066 Passing Yards
- 22 TDs
- 6 INT
- 155 Rush Yards
- 6 TDs
For much of the season, Dillon Gabriel was near the top of the list for Heisman odds. When he led the Ducks to a huge win over Ohio State, throwing for 341 yards and two touchdowns, his odds got even better. But those odds took a hit after Oregon’s 16-13 win over Wisconsin in Week 12, where the Ducks offense barely got the job done. Gabriel has a better chance of winning the national title than the Heisman this season.
