It’s never too early to be talking about the Heisman Trophy, right?

The SEC entered the 2015 regular season with several players considered to be contenders for college football’s most prestigious trophy.

Each week, we’re going to assess their performance and re-calibrate this list to better reflect the chances of a SEC player bringing home the hardware for the first time since former Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel did so in 2012.

Let’s see how they fared this week:

SEC Heisman Hopeful Rankings

1. RB Nick Chubb, Georgia

2015 stats: 16 carries, 120 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns

Week 1 performance: Chubb received just the right amount of work in the season-opener against UL-Monroe. With 16 carries for 120 yards and two touchdowns, he posted plenty of stats to keep Heisman voters happy while also avoiding being overworked in the early season against a team which posed no real threat to victory. With Sony Michel and Keith Marshall sharing a backfield with him this season, keeping Chubb fresh and at his best shouldn’t be an issue for Georgia.

Status: Trending upward

2. RB Derrick Henry, Alabama

2015 stats: 13 carries, 147 rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns; two receptions, 12 receiving yards.

Week 1 performance: Henry had a near-perfect performance to kick off a 2015 Heisman campaign. Provided the national spotlight in a game against No. 20 Wisconsin, he breezed through the Badgers defense with touchdown runs of 37 and 56 yards on his way to an average of 11.3 yards per rushing attempt. At this point, his candidacy’s biggest concern is how much the presence of fellow RB Kenyan Drake will hurt due to shared touches out of the backfield.

Status: Trending upward

3. QB Dak Prescott, Mississippi State

2015 stats: 22-of-38 passing for 237 yards and two touchdowns; eight carries for 72 rushing yards and a touchdown.

Week 1 performance: It probably took the Bulldogs a little too long to put away a bad Southern Mississippi team on Saturday night, but overall there was nothing to complain about here. While he didn’t post eye-popping numbers by his own lofty standards, Prescott turned in a solid performance that will fit just fine in his Heisman campaign portfolio. Next week’s game against LSU is his chance to move up these standings considerably.

Status: Holding steady

4. RB Leonard Fournette, LSU

2015 stats: N/A

Week 1 performance: Fournette suffered the unfortunate fate of a canceled game against McNeese State due to inclement weather. While most would consider this a wash for his Heisman campaign, I see it as a huge problem. Not only was he likely set to have a big game against an overmatched McNeese State defense, but with only 11 games on his schedule, he is also now at a statistical disadvantage when he is inevitably compared to his peers.

Status: Stuck in neutral

5. QB Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee

2015 stats: 15-of-22 passing for 205 yards and two touchdowns; 12 carries, 89 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown.

Week 1 performance: While Tennessee fans have to be nervous about the performance of their defense against Bowling Green, they have a lot to feel good about from the 59-point effort on offense. Dobbs was in complete control as the captain of the ship, working a mistake-free game while showing off his dual-threat abilities.

Status: Trending upward

6. QB Jeremy Johnson, Auburn

2015 stats: 11-of-21 passing for 137 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions; five carries for 11 yards and a touchdown.

Week 1 performance: After receiving more preseason Heisman hype for a guy that had never been a team’s starting quarterback than anyone in recent memory, Johnson came close to ruining his candidacy with a mistake-riddled opener against Louisville. The only redeeming quality of the performance is that the Tigers won, leaving him an opportunity to improve in future weeks and still sport the team record necessary for a serious Heisman contender.

Status: Trending downward

On the watchlist: Arkansas QB Brandon Allen; Arkansas RB Alex Collins; Auburn WR D’haquille Williams; Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell; South Carolina WR Pharoh Cooper; Tennessee RB Jalen Hurd; Texas A&M WR Christian Kirk.
