Heisman Odds Heading Into The Season
While Lawrence and Tagovailoa are the top favorites on the ESPN Heisman Watch, it’s clear Lawrence is the runaway favorite, at +200 compared to Tagovailoa at +350.
That’s with good reason, though. Lawrence, as a true freshman, threw for nearly 3300 yards, 30 touchdowns and just a mere four interceptions (including bowl games). Trevor completed nearly 66 percent of his throws in what was an absolute demolition of a National Championship game that saw Clemson beat Alabama 44-16.
With that said, Tagovailoa isn’t totally out of the hunt, either. Remember, he threw for nearly 4000 yards, 43 touchdowns and six interceptions (including bowl games).
Tagovailoa, had an additional five touchdowns on the ground.
Heisman Value With Justin Herbert or Jalen Hurts?
Justin Herbert at 20/1 is intriguing, but he took a bit of a step back last season. This year, however, he’ll look to improve on his stock with Oregon as he’ll go on to the NFL after this season.
With all of that said, the dark horse in all of this is Jalen Hurts at 20/1. Now the quarterback for Oklahoma, Hurts was supplanted from his role as Alabama’s starter by Tagovailoa.
Hurts is entering a program that has had back-to-back Heisman winners in Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. Head coach Lincoln Riley has a wonderful spread system that could really assist in help Hurts flourish. That, coupled with what has to be considered a revenge factor, Hurts could ball out no problem in 2019 and steal the honors.
When it comes down to it, Lawrence is the guy to beat here. Doing what he did as a true freshman, including against an Alabama team that allowed less than 180 passing yards to opposing quarterbacks is something otherworldly. He’ll only improve on that and it would not be at all surprising to see him smash a bunch of records.
2019 Heisman Prediction: Trevor Lawrence (2/1), followed by Tua Tagovailoa (7/2) and Jalen Hurts (20/1).
