Dan Mullen is entering his first season as an analyst for ESPN’s college football coverage.

On Wednesday, Mullen released his lists of Heisman favorites and Heisman sleepers, including a few SEC names.

As you can see below, Mullen has Alabama edge rusher Will Anderson Jr. as his Heisman favorite, with reigning Heisman winner Bryce Young in the No. 3 spot. He also has Florida QB Anthony Richardson as his second sleeper:

UCF QB John Rhys Plumlee, a former Ole Miss standout, is also listed by Mullen as a Heisman sleeper.

Will Mullen be proven right? Anderson was snubbed for a spot at the Heisman Trophy ceremony last year. Can he have an even better year in 2022? We’ll find out soon enough.
