2023 Heisman Trophy odds: 4 SEC players land among top 14 contenders

Heisman Trophy odds are out, and 4 SEC players are in the mix among the top 14 contenders from FanDuel Sportsbook.
Quarterbacks are heavily in the mix, from Ty Simpson at Alabama, to Joe Milton at Tennessee, Jayden Daniels at LSU and a surprising pick, Brock Vandagriff at Georgia.
Simpson not only stepping into the Alabama starting job, but also turning in a huge season would be an incredible story as Alabama looks to rebound from missing the College Football Playoff in 2022.
Vandagriff is, perhaps, a greater surprise because Carson Beck went into the national championship game and appears to be the odds-on favorite to be Georgia’s next starting quarterback.
LSU’s Jayden Daniels is in line for a big season as LSU largely exceeded expectations this past season.
The favorites at this point in the offseason are reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams, and North Carolina QB Drake Maye.
Oregon’s Bo Nix is also very much in the mix, according to oddsmakers.
Here are the contenders:
TY SIMPSON, QB, ALABAMA (+2500)
J.J. MCCARTHY, QB, MICHIGAN (+2500)
DREW ALLAR, QB, PENN STATE (+2000)
JOE MILTON, QB, TENNESSEE (+2000)
JAYDEN DANIELS, QB, LSU (+2000)
CADE KLUBNIK, QB, CLEMSON (+1800)
BROCK VANDAGRIFF, QB, GEORGIA (+1600)
QUINN EWERS, QB, TEXAS (+1600)
SAM HARTMAN, QB, NOTRE DAME (+1800)
MICHAEL PENIX JR., QB, WASHINGTON (+1200)
JORDAN TRAVIS, QB, FLORIDA STATE (+1200)
BO NIX, QB, OREGON (+1200)
DRAKE MAYE, QB, NORTH CAROLINA (+1000)
CALEB WILLIAMS, QB, USC (+400)
