Buckeye Stars Julian Sayin & Jeremiah Smith Eyed for Heisman
6 Jul
Summary
- Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith are top Heisman contenders.
- Quarterbacks often hold a bias for winning the award.
- Other top prospects include C.J. Carr and Arch Manning.
Preseason predictions for the Heisman Trophy highlight two Ohio State Buckeyes as leading contenders: quarterback Julian Sayin and wide receiver Jeremiah Smith. Sayin is consistently ranked among the top candidates, with many sportsbooks placing him in the top tier for the award.
Jeremiah Smith, though potentially the best player, faces the challenge of a non-quarterback position, a common hurdle for Heisman hopefuls. This inherent bias often gives quarterbacks an advantage in the race for the coveted bronze statue.
Beyond the Ohio State duo, other players identified as having legitimate shots at the Heisman include Notre Dame's C.J. Carr, Texas quarterback Arch Manning, Ole Miss signal-caller Trinidad Chambliss, and Miami's Darian Mensah. The race is expected to feature surprises, as is typical each year, but this list represents a strong initial outlook.
