Heismanpundit.com – now a part of CBSSports.com – is considered by most to be an authoritative voice for everything Heisman Trophy related.
And he unveiled his top 10 on the watch list yesterday.
Here are the two SEC players on the top 10 watch list:
No. 5 Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia
No. 8 Knile Davis, RB, Arkansas
Other players on the top 10 watch list:
1. Matt Barkley, QB, USC
2. Denard Robinson, QB, Michigan
3. Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
4. Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
6. EJ Manual, QB, Florida State
7. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
9. De’Anthony Thomas, RB, Oregon
10.Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson
Others to watch from SEC:
Tyler Bray, QB, Tennessee
James Franklin, QB, Missouri
Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina
Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
Who did he miss?
Was Tyrann Mathieu not a finalist last year? I would think he would at least be on a watch list….
I can’t believe Tyler Wilson isn’t on there. He is definitely the best QB in college football.
I’m from Missouri, and I can’t believe Tyler Wilson is not on there, either.
he’s on the watch list at least.
Are you kiddiing me, is Tajh Boyd really a consideration
If Lattimore is a 100% he should be on the list. Not sure if he is… Tyler Wilson should definitly be on there too. Its kinda odd for Tyrann Mathieu to be one of the finalist last year and not on the list…
“Luckily for Lattimore, sports medicine isn’t what it used to be. The now-junior tail back says he’s 100-percent healthy and ready to go. The biggest challenge now is getting over the mental barriers that follow a major injury. Of course, there’s no better way than to jump right in. Spurrier added, “We think he’s going to be fine. In practice there’s no even thinking about he’s got a knee that’s just been operated on.” ”
So yes he feels he is 100 percent. Lattimore has 421 career carries for 2,015 yards, an average of 20.6 rushing attempts per game and USC’s success when he carries the ball is overwhelming – the Gamecocks are undefeated in the 11 games in which he has registered 19 or more carries. Not only will Lattimore bring South Carolina a SEC Championship but possibly a national title and heisman trophy.
