Players from across the country will vie for the 2018 Heisman Trophy, college football’s most coveted individual award. These five players have an early lead.
The 2018 Heisman Trophy race will feature a staple of big-time running backs, quarterbacks that can beat you through the air and on the ground, and a once in a generation defensive talent in the Lone Star state.
As the season progresses you will see names go up and down the rankings as players make a name for themselves each week. There weren’t many people pegging Lamar Jackson to win it two years ago, and seeing Baker Mayfield go from a walk-on at Texas Tech to holding up the most prestigious trophy in College Football is something true fans can appreciate.
Who has the greatest chances to win the Heisman this year? Will it be a passer with gaudy passing numbers? A workhorse running back from the Midwest? Or a name that isn’t on the radar yet? Take a look at my top 5 Heisman rankings as we get ready for the first week of college football.
