Heisman Front-Runner?

Id put Travis Hunter ahead of him. Ward throws too many picks in prime time games and I think that’ll sway voters.
He'll be discounted because of the competition level. Jeanty held his own against Oregon though.
I'm not counting Jalen Milroe out of this one just because of the loss to Vandy.
I can't give it to a guy in a cupcake conference. Sorry not sorry.
Honestly it should be a sec or big 10 guy every year.

I went back and looked at Heisman voting over the past several years. No running back has finished higher than 5th in voting since 2017.
In 2017, Bryce Love finished 2nd and Saquon Barkley finished 4th. Baker Mayfield was the winner.
What Jeanty is doing is impressive, but it's no more impressive than what Jonathan Taylor was doing at Wisconsin. Taylor was going against tougher run defenses, and he never finished higher than 5th in voting.
Just because you might break a single-season record doesn't mean much to the voters who skew toward QB. And even if you break passing records against bad competition like Bailey Zappe did at WKU in 2021, it doesn't even mean that you will finish in the Top 10 in voting.
I expect Jeanty to finish in the Top 10 if he doesn't get hurt, but his candidacy is a red herring that the sportsbooks want you to follow.

Travis Hunter and Sanders will be in the discussion bad cause who they are. Hunter deserves it more than sanders but sanders will get there on name.
Miami QB
Ashton from Boise
Are the top 2.
I'd say
Ashton
Hunter
Miami guy
Sanders.
Ashton jeanty has better numbers than Barry Sanders if he doesn't fall off you have to give it to him.

Those numbers reminded me of how impressive Lynn Bowden was when asked to take over as QB.
Bowden averaged 8 yards per carry despite all 11 defenders knowing we had no hope of a passing game.
