Heisman Trophy Odds Tracker: Rattler, Uiagalelei, Young are Favorites

There is no offseason for college football, and betting on college football is a year-round market, as there are always futures to wager on. That includes the Heisman Trophy.

The most popular trophy in college football is of course the Heisman Trophy, which means that is without a doubt the most important player futures market available. Looking ahead to the 2022 college football season, it will certainly be a battle of the quarterbacks. Let’s take a look at possible candidates, odds, and updates for the 2022 Heisman Trophy betting market.

“The winner of the 2021-22 Heisman Trophy is…”

After an eventful 2020-2021 college football season, the winner of the Heisman Trophy was Alabama WR DeVonta Smith. After starting the year as the second option in the passing game, Smith’s role was magnified after Alabama lost Jaylen Waddle to injury. The rest is history, but now the attention turns to the 2022 Heisman Trophy, where Spencer Rattler is the heavy favorite to win the award. Let’s take a look at the latest Heisman Trophy odds, news, and more as we will update throughout the offseason and regular season come fall 2021.

As the 2021 season nears, odds shift in Heisman Trophy market

In late July 2021, the odds have shifted a bit in terms of who will win the Heisman Trophy. At DraftKings Sportsbook, here are the prices in late July from DraftKings Sportsbook.

• Spencer Rattler (+650)
• DJ Uiagalelei (+750)
• Bryce Young (+800)
• JT Daniels (+1200)
• Sam Howell (+1400)

One of the key parts of betting on futures is spotting value before the odds shift, and bettors have been watching these prices shift. While this year is overwhelmingly likely to be a quarterback, players like Bijan Robinson at +2800 or Master Teague III at +5000 make for interesting long shot options as the season nears.

Initial Public Betting Consensus: heavy money on Spencer Rattler

After the odds were posted, the first round of bets have more of the public money on Oklahoma QB Spencer Rattler than any other quarterback.

Could Bryce Young Make a Heisman Run?

Yet again, another Alabama quarterback is in the running for a potential Heisman Trophy. This time, it is Bryce Young who may have the talent to be the best Alabama quarterback in recent years. That is saying a lot with Tua Tagavailoa and Mac Jones, but Young was just a freshman last season and was a five-star recruit. Plus, look at this throw in garbage time.

Young is third on the Heisman Trophy odds list, behind Rattler and Uiagalelei, but with a continued repertoire of wide receivers at his disposal along with a top-tier program, the Alabama quarterback is set for success in his first season as the starter. Time will tell if he is a true Heisman Trophy candidate, but it certainly looks like he will have a shot to compete for it.

Clemson’s D.J. Uiagalelei Odds Soar, Second on Odds List

Who is DJ Uiagalelei? If you do not know yet, you will this fall as Clemson’s latest five-star QB recruit takes over on offense. Uiagalelei is an absolute monster of a human being, drawing resemblances to Cam Newton with possibly an even stronger arm. Last season for Clemson, he threw 117 passes and completed 78 fo them for 914 yards and five scores while rushing for two more on the ground. Uiagalelei essentially started two games while Lawrence was out due to COVID, and threw for a total of 781 yards and four scores against Notre Dame and Boston College.

Clemson will likely not skip a beat, as Uiagalelei is just the latest star under center for the Tigers. His odds have risen to the second-shortest on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Last Year, Legal Sportsbooks Were Indecisive on Heisman Trophy Futures

The 2020 Heisman Trophy odds have been posted at various books, but some had taken them down amidst coronavirus concerns and the season for a lot of teams was cancelled. DraftKings Sportsbook had originally posted the odds with Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence leading, but have since taken them down and re-posted with new odds. Other sportsbooks have kept theirs up, like William Hill Sportsbook who had Justin Fields at +350 to win the Heisman Trophy, but has since removed them of course. Legal sportsbooks have many other college football futures markets available to wager on as well, such as CFB Win Totals, and College Football Playoff Championship odds.

Heisman Trophy Betting History

In 2019, Joe Burrow was +20000 to win the #HeismanTrophy before the season started. He closed at -12500 at some sports books.

Who will be this year’s Joe Burrow?

As you can see, there have been many longshots that have gone on to win the Heisman in the last six years, but they have all ended up as the favorite when odds have closed except for one player…Kyler Murray. In 2018, Kyler Murray was +700 at the end of the college football season and Tua Tagovailoa was -1000, but Murray snuck through and won the 2018 Heisman Trophy. In 2019 and 2020, two long shots in DeVonta Smith and Joe Burrow won.

Last Five Heisman Award Odds and Winners

Studying the preseason odds of past Heisman Trophy winners is a terrific exercise. Before the season, the only player that was considered a candidate that actually won was Baker Mayfield in 2017 with Oklahoma. Joe Burrow was +20000, Lamar Jackson was +10000, and others were +2000 or more.
