Latest Heisman Trophy odds feature DJ Uiagalelei
The Heisman Trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding football player in the country, with the Clemson football program still looking for its first winner.
In recent years, Tigers fans have seen college football greats such as Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence finish second in years where it felt as if both were deserving of hoisting the illustrious award. The fact that neither of the national championship-winning quarterbacks won the award feels like a mistake.
With the past behind us, it looks like the next Clemson player who should have a shot at winning the award is current starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei.
Yes, there are a lot of questions and concerns about Uiagalelei’s game and whether he will maintain the starting position throughout the next college football season. However, Vegas still sees a path for the young quarterback to turn things around.
According to Tipico Sportsbooks’ latest odds, the Clemson quarterback is tied with five other players with the 5th best odds to win the Heisman. Here is a list of the players with the best odds of winning the Heisman Trophy.
