It might be months until the award for the most outstanding player in college football is handed out in a glitzy ceremony in New York. Still, Week 2 provided a shop window for several players to showcase a legitimate claim to being the most outstanding player in the sport.
Among the updated Heisman Trophy odds are a Texas Longhorns quarterback and Group of Five running back who thrived in the Week 2 national spotlight.

Quinn Ewers Heisman Odds To Win, 2024
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was among the Heisman Trophy odds favorites after the opening weekend of the season, but his Week 2 performance against the Michigan Wolverines propelled the third-year passer right to the very top of the pile. DraftKings Sportsbook slashed the talented Texas passer’s odds from +1400 to +600 after he eviscerated the reigning national champions.
Ewers finished the 31-12 victory with 246 passing yards and three touchdowns, completing 66.6% of his pass attempts. However, that doesn’t tell the full story of a performance that included some perfectly placed passes, pocket presence, and leadership in a tough environment. You won’t see many better displays than Texas put together in the first half in Ann Arbor.
Cam Ward Heisman Odds To Win, 2024
The Miami Hurricanes received a lot of preseason hype, and quarterback Cam Ward has consistently displayed why there’s optimism around the program with scintillating showings through two weeks of the 2024 college football campaign.
Washington State transfer Ward was an ethereal presence under center as the Hurricanes recorded a famous win over the Florida Gators in Week 1, followed by a 304-yard, three-touchdown outing against Florida A&M. Ward’s Heisman Trophy odds have dropped from +1500 to +950 and are now down to +800 following his Week 1 display. Time is running out to bet on him.
Jaxson Dart Heisman Odds To Win, 2024
Not many players in the country have had a more explosive start to the 2024 college football season than Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart. Through two games, no other signal-caller has more passing yards than Dart (795), while he ranks second for completion percentage (87%) and yards per attempt (14.7) and sixth with six touchdown passes.
Dart has taken care of business against a lower standard of opponent (Furman and Middle Tennessee) but will have the opportunity to prove himself against the likes of Georgia and Oklahoma down the stretch. DraftKings Sportsbook currently has his Heisman Trophy odds at +850 following Week 2 of the 2024 college football season.
Carson Beck Heisman Odds To Win, 2024
Georgia quarterback Carson Beck is widely considered the best quarterback in college football, and many NFL Draft analysts consider him the QB1 of the 2025 quarterback class. His Heisman Trophy odds dropped from +800 to +900 following college football Week 1, somewhat surprisingly given a solid 278 yards and two touchdown outing against a stellar Clemson defense.
He then completed 72% of his attempts in the 48-3 Week 2 win over Tennessee Tech, throwing for 242 yards and five touchdowns against the FCS opponent. However, as players around him put together dynamic displays in the national spotlight, Beck’s Heisman Trophy odds slid once again. His +1000 price might be the best that you get all season.
Nico Iamaleava Heisman Odds To Win, 2024
Only two redshirt-freshman have ever won the Heisman Trophy — Jamies Winston and Johnny Manziel — but try telling Nico Iamaleava that history is against him. Through two weeks the Tennessee Volunteers quarterback has demonstrated why the entire Vols fanbase is excited for this season with commancing performances against two different levels of competition.
Looking imperious in the pocket and producing multiple eye-catching throws, Iamaleava tore apart the Chattanooga defense with a ruthless Week 1 performance before throwing for 211 yards and two touchdowns against a good NC State defense. The Tennessee QB’s Heisman Trophy odds from DraftKings Sportsbook remain unchanged at +1200 following Week 2.
Ashton Jeanty Heisman Odds To Win, 2024
No other player in the country has more yards from scrimmage per game in the 2024 college football campaign than Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty. Ignore the fact that he plays in the Mountain West and that a Group of Five Heisman Trophy is less likely than a Powerball jackpot win; Jeanty is legitimately the best player in the country right now.
When you play outside of the Power programs, your performance in the biggest games defines your candidacy, and Jeanty earned CFN Offensive Player of the Week honors for the second consecutive season after destroying a good Oregon Ducks defense. After averaging 7.7 yards per carry on his way to 192 yards and three touchdowns, his Heisman Trophy odds were slashed to +2200, making him one of the favorites.
