College football players with the best 2024 Heisman odds

Georgia Bulldogs starting quarterback Carson Beck is projected to be a Heisman contender in 2024. LSU Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels won the Heisman last season after an incredible year. Who will win the prestigious award in 2024?

The 2024 Heisman race will primarily feature quarterbacks. Twelve of the last 14 Heisman winners have played quarterback and almost all of the top preseason Heisman contenders play quarterback.

There will be a few more transfers following the spring, but most of the country’s top rosters are fairly set. Four of the top Heisman contenders transferred to new schools this offseason. Transfers have won four of the last seven Heisman trophies.

What college football players have the best odds to win the 2024 Heisman? All betting odds are per FanDuel.

Notre Dame is hoping to make a playoff run in 2024. The Fighting Irish need a big season out of Riley Leonard in order to be in the playoff conversation.
