The Heisman Trophy race has been dominated by quarterbacks since 2000. Only three non-quarterbacks have won the Heisman in the last 21 years, and in looking at this year’s crop of Heisman-hopefuls, it looks like it could be another quarterback this season. With the season less than a month away, it’s time to start looking at who could be in contention for the prestigious award. Let’s take a look at some of the Heisman Trophy Betting favorites to win this year’s trophy.

2022-23 Heisman Trophy Hopefuls With The Best Odds | NCAAF Betting Analysis

C.J. Stroud +250

The Ohio State quarterback is the favorite to win this year’s Heisman Trophy. The Buckeyes should have one of the top offenses in the country, as Stroud has some of the nation’s top offensive weapons at his disposal. With the Buckeyes looking to be in contention for a National Championship, all eyes will be on Stroud this season.

Last season, he threw for over 4400 yards and 44 touchdowns as a true freshman. We’ll see if he can improve upon those numbers this season. If he does, it will be hard not to give him a Heisman vote. 

Bryce Young +350

Last year’s Heisman trophy winner is looking to be only the second person in the history of the Heisman to win the award twice. Ohio State’s Archie Griffin is the only person to ever win the award twice. Young’s Alabama Crimson Tide are the favorites to win the National Championship this season. He’ll be playing in many high-profile games against some of the top defenses in the country.

Young threw for nearly 4900 yards with 47 touchdowns last season. He’ll need to have a season much like last season or even better if he wants to win the Heisman. We’ll see if Young and the Alabama offense has it in them.

Caleb Williams +800

When Caleb Williams took over as the quarterback of the Oklahoma Sooners, he lit a fire under the Sooner program. The electric quarterback is one of the best athletes in the country, and can do damage with his arm and his legs. He was a perfect fit for Lincoln Riley’s offense.

When Riley left for USC, Williams decided to follow the head coach to sunny California. Jordan Addison, one of the top receivers in the country, left Pitt and is also headed to USC. He’ll be a huge asset for Williams. With Addison, and many other top skill position players, Riley’s offense should be able to put up a ton of points, and that will help Williams’s Heisman case.

Bijan Robinson +2000

It’s fair to say that the oddsmakers think that the award will go to one of the nation’s top quarterbacks again this season, as Bijan Robinson at a +2000, is the top non-quarterback among the favorites.

Robinson is one of the best backs in the country, and he should thrive once again in Steve Sarkisian’s offense. With Quinn Ewers under center, teams shouldn’t be able to key on Robinson like they did last season. He should touch the ball between 20 and 30 times per game, and he’ll be able to make things happen if he gets that many touches.
