Heisman Trophy odds: keeping track

 The Heisman Trophy picture is constantly changing, and BetOnline.ag tracks those changes to create the best odds at any given time.

It has been about half a year since they first posted odds on who may win the coveted Heisman.

Check the changes and reasons below:

On January 9th, the day after Michigan won the CFP National Championship, BetOnline.ag released their 2024 Heisman Trophy odds.

A lot has changed since then but most importantly:

 •            Some quarterbacks without teams due to them transferring weren’t on the initial list. Here are some:

o            Cam Ward

o            KJ Jefferson

o            Tyler Shough

o            Jayden Maiava

o            Maalik Murphy

•            A few freshmen were added:

o            Dylan Raiola

o            Julian Sayin

o            Austin Mack

•            Other upperclassmen added:

o            Arch Manning

o            Donovan Edwards

o            Kyron Drones

o            Garrett Greene

o            Ashton Jeanty

o            Darius Taylor

o            Kaidon Salter

o            Payton Thorne

o            Rocco Becht

o            Thomas Castellanos

•            J.J. McCarthy declared for the draft and is no longer on the list:

•            CJ Baxter is not on the list anymore as he is out for the year.

Here’s a side by side comparison of the odds from January 9th and the odds of today to win the Heisman Trophy.

Here are some notes on the odds changes over the past 7.5 months.

•            Jalen Milroe was the initial favorite and Dillon Gabriel was fourth. They have since switched places.

•            Players whose odds got significantly shorter (not including new additions):

o            Miller Moss went from 50/1 to 22/1.

o            Avery Johnson and Jalon Daniels went from 50/1 to 28/1.

o            Cameron Rising went from 75/1 to 33/1.

o            Brady Cook went from 50/1 to 33/1.

•            Players whose odds got significantly longer:

o            Conor Weigman and Jackson Arnold went from 18/1 to 40/1.

o            Cade Klubnik went from 28/1 to 80/1.

o            Will Rogers went from 28/1 to 125/1 and from Mississippi State to Washington.

o            Tyler Van Dyke went from 66/1 to 150/1.

Note: Arrows down meant the odds got shorter and the player’s odds improved to win the Heisman. Arrow up, means player’s odds got longer as did their chances to win the Heisman. OTB means off the board. Some players listed already moved on to NFL so obviously they will not be in the Heisman hunt.
