Heisman odds are updated every 15-60 minutes from top-rated college football betting apps, including FanDuel, DraftKings & Bet365.
- Dec. 1:Â Travis Hunter has won the 2024 Heisman according to oddsmakers. The two-way star is -11429 on average with second-favorite Ashton Jeanty listed as a +2450 longshot. No other player is shorter than +15000.
- Nov. 24: Despite his Colorado Buffaloes losing 37-21 at Kansas, Travis Hunter consolidated his status as Heisman favorite, shortening from -387 to -704. Second-favorite Ashton Jeanty is back at +554 with third-favorite Cameron Ward at +1333.
- Nov. 17: A pedestrian outing from Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel against Wisconsin (a 16-13 Oregon win) allowed Travis Hunter to shorten from +112 to -387.
- Nov. 10: A bad outing from Miami’s Cam Ward opened the door for Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter to take over as favorite at +120. Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel is now second at +301 while Ward faded to a distant fourth at +850.
- Nov. 3: After a huge day against Duke, Miami’s Cam Ward surged to +189, his shortest odds yet this season. Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter is just behind Ward at +215 after Week 10 while Oregon pivot Dillon Gabriel is a close third at +287. Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty has faded to +505.
- Oct. 27: After leading #1 Oregon to a 38-9 rout of #20 Illinois, Dillon Gabriel surged from +388 to the +243 favorite. Cam Ward is a close second at +283. Ashton Jeanty had a quiet Week 9 (127 yards, 1 TD) and faded fourth at +432.
- Oct. 20: A big week from Miami’s Cam Ward (21/32, 319 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT in a 52-45 win over Louisville) boosted his odds from +675 to +233. Jeanty is still slightly favored at +230.
- Oct. 13: After a 217-yard day against Hawai’i, Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty improved to +182. Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel also made a huge jump (from +1517 to +592) after leading his Ducks to a win over previously-unbeaten Ohio State.
- Oct. 6:Â Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty moved from +1067 to +233 on average after Week 6, while second-favorite Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter improved from +679 to +324. Miami quarterback Cam Ward is now third at +414.
- Sep. 29: Jalen Milroe took a huge lead from +717 to +200 after his 374-yard, two-TD performance led #4 Alabama to a 41-34 win over #2 UGA.
- Sep. 22: While Miami QB Cam Ward shortened to +392, Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava has moved into the top-four at +858.
- Sep. 16: Off to an electric 3-0 start with his new team, Miami pivot Cam Ward has become the +512 favorite in the 2024 Heisman odds, just ahead of a pair of SEC QBs: Jalen Milroe of Alabama and Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss.

- 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 |
| Shedeur 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 Shedeur 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 received any votes at the end of the year.
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 four most recent winners have been pivots.
Heisman Trophy Winners Since 2000
| Year | Player | Position |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Jayden Daniels | Quarterback |
| 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.
Heisman Winner Trends
| Position | # of Heisman Trophies Since 2000 |
|---|---|
| Quarterback | 20 |
| Running back | 3 |
| All others | 1 |
Beyond the positional trend of quarterbacks winning the award, a player has to be relatively experienced to win the trophy. Juniors and seniors make up 75% of Heisman winners since 2020.
| Category | Breakdown | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Class Year | Seniors | 35% |
| Juniors | 40% | |
| Sophomores | 20% | |
| Freshmen | 5% | |
| Average Age | 21.3 years | |
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. However, 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.
