Heisman Trophy Watch 2016: Top 5 candidates after Week 4

Surprise, surprise. Lamar Jackson tops our Heisman rankings once again. The sophomore dual-threat continues to be the most exciting player in college football, adding seven touchdowns to his Heisman resume in Week 4.

The Louisville Cardinals have gone from a solid No. 19 team to start the season all the way to No. 3 in the AP Poll after a big Week 3 win against Florida State to the tune of 63-20. Jackson has been the main reason for all of the success and when you have a guy who’s scored 25 total touchdowns in four games, you’re not going to lose too many games.

Louisville’s rise has been somewhat surprising, as has the emergence of Jackson. People knew Jackson would be a threat to win the Heisman eventually during his career, but not many believed it would happen this early on.

Taking on Marshall in Week 4, the sophomore added more accomplishments to his already-growing resume, passing for 417 yards and five touchdowns and rushing for 62 and another two scores.

Jackson hasn’t recorded less than five touchdowns in any game this season nor has he had less than two rushing scores in a contest.
