Early 2024-2025 Heisman Odds Dominated by QBs

Oddsmakers waited until the close of the transfer portal until releasing the 2024-2025 Heisman odds.

The dust has settled, culminating on Friday January 5 with one of the most notable transfers -- quarterback Will Howard committing to Ohio State -- and now we have our list of Heisman contenders and each's respective odds.

SportsBetting.ag made a non-transfer the favorite (Jalen Milroe), and the first 21 players on the 41-player list are quarterbacks. We don't see a non-QB until Travis Hunter and Trevor Etienne at the 50/1 mark.

The Top 3, in terms of odds, are QBs returning to their teams from this season (Ewers could still declare), but then you have two transfer portal players in Dillon Gabriel and Howard to out the Top 5.

Of note, Ohio State’s national championship odds for next year moved from +850 to +800 following Howard's transfer announcement.
