College football players with the best 2024 Heisman odds
Georgia Bulldogs starting quarterback Carson Beck is projected to be a Heisman contender in 2024. LSU Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels won the Heisman last season after an incredible year. Who will win the prestigious award in 2024?
The 2024 Heisman race will primarily feature quarterbacks. Twelve of the last 14 Heisman winners have played quarterback and almost all of the top preseason Heisman contenders play quarterback.
There will be a few more transfers following the spring, but most of the country’s top rosters are fairly set. Four of the top Heisman contenders transferred to new schools this offseason. Transfers have won four of the last seven Heisman trophies.
What college football players have the best odds to win the 2024 Heisman? All betting odds are per FanDuel.
Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold (+2,200)
Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold could become the latest Sooners’ quarterback to win the Heisman. Arnold started against Arizona in the Alamo Bowl. He has limited starting experience, but he will play in a lot of big games in Oklahoma’s first season in the SEC.
Stats: 563 passing yards, five total touchdowns and three interceptions
Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita (+2,000)
Arizona has lost numerous key pieces after head coach Jedd Fisch left for the Washington job. Noah Fifita really impressed in 2023 and should put up monster numbers in the defense-optional Big 12.
Stats: 2,869 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and six interceptions
Miami quarterback Cameron Ward (+2,000)
Miami quarterback Cameron Ward is capable of putting up some monster numbers. Ward, a Washington State transfer, finished among the NCAA’s leading passers in 2023.
Stats: 3,735 passing yards, 33 total touchdowns, and seven interceptions
Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard (+2,000)
Notre Dame is hoping to make a playoff run in 2024. The Fighting Irish need a big season out of Riley Leonard in order to be in the playoff conversation. Leonard, who did not put up incredible stats last season due to injuries, is capable of making all the throws and should have Notre Dame winning quite a few games. Leonard is a threat with his legs and had 33 total touchdowns in 2022.
Stats: 1,103 passing yards, seven total touchdowns and three interceptions
Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman (+2,000)
Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman had an excellent start in 2023, but suffered a season-ending injury. Weigman had one of the top QBRs in the country (87.2) and should be one of the better quarterbacks in the SEC in 2024.
Stats: 979 passing yards, 10 total touchdowns and two interceptions
Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart (+1,800)
Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is returning for the 2024 season and has a lot of weapons. College football fans should expect the Rebels to be a College Football Playoff contender in 2024.
Stats: 3,364 passing yards, 31 total touchdowns and five interceptions
LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier (+1,800)
Can another LSU Tigers quarterback win the Heisman? Garrett Nussmeier has looked great in limited action for the Tigers.
Stats: 591 passing yards, five total touchdowns and one interception
Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava (+1,500)
Tennessee freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava is a former five-star recruit and looked very sharp in the Volunteers’ dominant bowl win over Iowa.
Stats: 314 passing yards, five total touchdowns and zero interceptions
Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe (+1,200)
Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe is returning, but the Crimson Tide have lost a bit of firepower after Nick Saban retired. Still, Milroe and the Crimson Tide should be in the mix to win the SEC and the Heisman.
Stats: 2,834 passing yards, 35 total touchdowns and six interceptions
Ohio State quarterback Will Howard (+1,000)
Kansas State transfer Will Howard will be in a great situation in Ohio State. Howard put up big numbers at Kansas State and could be the next transfer quarterback to win the Heisman.
Stats: 2,643 passing yards, 33 total touchdowns and 10 interceptions
Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel (+1,000)
Oklahoma transfer Dillon Gabriel will play for Oregon in 2024. Quarterback Bo Nix was a the Ducks’ Heisman contender in 2023. Oregon will be playing in its first season in the Big Ten and has high preseason expectations.
Stats: 3,660 passing yards, 42 total touchdowns and six interceptions
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers (+750)
Quinn Ewers is a former five-star recruit. Ewers and Texas will have a lot of opportunities to get big wins after falling in the College Football Playoff to Washington last season.
2023 stats: 3,479 passing yards, 27 total touchdowns and six interceptions
Georgia quarterback Carson Beck (+750)
Georgia quarterback Carson Beck will return for the 2024 college football season. Beck will have abundant weapons to pass to at Georgia. The Bulldogs face a very challenging schedule in 2024, which should give Beck a ton of national exposure.
Stats: 3,941 passing yards, 28 total touchdowns and six interceptions
