- Jul. 15: Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel has jumped to +800 odds, surpassing Texas QB Quinn Ewers to become co-favorite with Georgia’s Carson Beck. Gabriel’s odds improved after an impressive offseason showing.
- Mar. 15: With more sportsbooks opening their Heisman odds, Milroe has faded to +1350, while Beck (+775) and Ewers (+800) have seen improvement in their price. This is primarily due to several notable Alabama players transferring out following Nick Saban’s retirement announcement.
- Jan. 10: Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, Texas pivot Quinn Ewers and Alabama QB Jalen Milroe have opened as co-favorites to win the Heisman at DraftKings.

2024 Heisman Trophy Public Betting Splits
The preseason Heisman Trophy public betting splits at BetMGM shows that two Colorado players are getting love to win the MVP trophy.
| Player | Highest Handle % | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Travis Hunter (WR, Colorado) | 16.5% | +5000 |
| Sheduer Sanders (QB, Colorado) | 13.8% | +3000 |
| Carson Beck (QB, Georgia) | 11.6% | +750 |
Two-way star Travis Hunter is drawing a majority 16.5% of the handle to win the Heisman, while his quarterback Shadeur Sanders is seeing 13.8% of the total handle. Both players are considered longshots for the award, which is likely contributing to the action.
Hunter and Sanders were also heavily bet to win the Heisman last season but neither player went on to receive any votes at the end of the year.
Heisman Trophy Longshots
Making Heisman predictions is quite difficult, as preseason longshots have a tendency to win the college football MVP award. For instance, recent winners Kyler Murray (2018), Joe Burrow (2019), and Devonta Smith (2020) were either off the board entirely or extreme longshots before their respective Week 1 games.
Just last season, Jayden Daniels of LSU entered the season as a +2000 longshot before closing at -1400 odds and winning the award.
Among the notable 2024 Heisman Trophy longshots is
Who Usually Wins the Heisman Trophy?
Lately, quarterbacks. Since the year 2000, a staggering 20 of the 24 Heisman winners have been signal callers. Alabama receiver Devonta Smith bucked a four-year trend of Heisman QB winners in 2020, but since then, the three most recent winners have been pivots.
Heisman Trophy Winners Since 2000
| Year | Player | Position |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Caleb Williams | Quarterback |
| 2021 | Bryce Young | Quarterback |
| 2020 | Devonta Smith | Wide Receiver |
| 2019 | Joe Burrow | Quarterback |
| 2018 | Kyler Murray | Quarterback |
| 2017 | Baker Mayfield | Quarterback |
| 2016 | Lamar Jackson | Quarterback |
| 2015 | Derrick Henry | Running back |
| 2014 | Marcus Mariota | Quarterback |
| 2013 | Jameis Winston | Quarterback |
| 2012 | Johnny Manziel | Quarterback |
| 2011 | Robert Griffin III | Quarterback |
| 2010 | Cam Newton | Quarterback |
| 2009 | Mark Ingram Jr | Running back |
| 2008 | Sam Bradford | Quarterback |
| 2007 | Tim Tebow | Quarterback |
| 2006 | Troy Smith | Quarterback |
| 2005 | Reggie Bush | Running back |
| 2004 | Matt Leinart | Quarterback |
| 2003 | Jason White | Quarterback |
| 2002 | Carson Palmer | Quarterback |
| 2001 | Eric Crouch | Quarterback |
| 2000 | Chris Weinke | Quarterback |
Before Devonta Smith’s win in 2020, the last Heisman to go to a non-QB/RB was Charles Woodson in 1997. Before that, it was Desmond Howard in 1991, then Johnny Rodgers (who was kind of a running back) in 1972, and then Notre Dame end Leon Hart in 1949.
Looking at Heisman winners since 2020, it’s clear that running backs and receivers are facing an uphill battle. This Heisman trend suggests an 83% chance the 2024 Heisman winner will be a quarterback.
| Position | # of Heisman Trophies Since 2000 |
|---|---|
| Quarterback | 20 |
| Running back | 3 |
| All others | 1 |
Where Can You Bet on the Heisman Trophy?
Every major sportsbook in the country offers NCAA futures odds, which always include the Heisman Trophy odds. Bettors may notice that some sites take their Heisman odds down on Saturdays while games are being played. Don’t panic. They will be back once oddsmakers have had time to reflect on the day’s results and adjust accordingly.
The main list of legal sportsbooks offering Heisman futures odds in 2024 is as follows:
- FanDuel Sportsbook (see available FanDuel Sportsbook promo codes)
- ESPN Bet (see available ESPN Bet promo codes)
- BetMGM (see available BetMGM promo codes)
- DraftKings Sportsbook (see available DraftKings Sportsbook promo codes)
- Caesars Sportsbook (see available Caesars Sportsbook promo codes)
- BetRivers (see available BetRivers Sportsbook promo codes)
Heisman Trophies by Conference
The SEC and Big Ten have dominated the top preseason top-25 favorites lately. But while the SEC has actually followed through with their Heisman Trophy candidates lately, the Big Ten has only produced two winners since 2000 and none since 2006 (Troy Smith, Ohio State).
| Conference | Heisman Trophies since 2000 |
|---|---|
| SEC | 8 |
| Big 12 | 5 |
| Pac-12 | 5 |
| ACC | 3 |
| Big Ten | 2 |
If the 2024 Heisman odds hold and one of Beck or Ewers wins the award, the SEC will have almost double the amount of Heismans as any other conference.
