ATLANTA — As the college football season winds down and championship week is almost upon us, the Heisman Trophy Ceremony is just two weeks away.
As fast as the trophy presentation is coming up, so too are a few names making a push at the top four that get to go to New York City for all the festivities.
So, let's take a look at the top candidates to win college football's most prestigious award for 2023 here in Week 13 of college football, according to Vegas Insider and Bet MGM. These odds were prior to Saturday's play.
Heisman Trophy odds
1. Bo Nix QB - Oregon (-120)
The former Auburn quarterback who transferred to Oregon recently set a record for the most starts by a college quarterback ever. And Nix is having a career year as well.
Stats: 3,906 passing yards, 43 total touchdowns, 2 interceptions
2. Jayden Daniels QB - LSU (+105)
After somewhat of a slow start to the 2023 season, Daniels has exploded over the last several weeks with both his legs and his arm.
Stats: 3,577 passing yards, 1,014 rushing yards, 46 total touchdowns, 4 interceptions
3. Michael Penix QB - Washington (+700)
Once the frontrunner for the award, Penix's play has cooled off a bit as the season has winded down. Nonetheless, he has had a fantastic season.
Stats: 3,695 passing yards, 33 total touchdowns, 7 interceptions
4. Carson Beck QB - Georgia (+1000)
The Dawgs' quarterback might not have the sizzling numbers that the other QBs on this list have, but make no mistake about it: Beck is absolutely deserving to be in New York and has progressed in just about every single game for UGA this season.
Stats: 3,320 yards, 24 total touchdowns, 5 interceptions
5. Marvin Harrison Jr. WR - Ohio State (+1500)
6. Jalen Milroe QB - Alabama (+1500)
