2025 Heisman Trophy Odds

Quarterbacks have dominated Heisman Trophy voting for quite some time, but with his impressive season on both sides of the ball, Travis Hunter became the first non-QB to win the award since DeVonta Smith in 2020 and just the second non-QB or RB since 1997.

With the 2024-25 season wrapped up, college football fans can already start sinking their teeth into 2025 Heisman odds, which have been released on FanDuel. While there is a fair share of quarterbacks who look primed to take the award back for the position, Ohio State wideout Jeremiah Smith may have a lot to say about that. Well, from now until the end of the 2025 Heisman race, fans can stay up to date on all odds movement from the top sportsbooks.

Current Favorites

Garrett Nussmeier: The LSU Tigers may have fallen short of the College Football Playoff, but at the very least, they are getting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier back, who many believe is the #1 QB in his draft class. In his first full season as the starter, Nussmeier threw for 4,052 yards and a 29:12 TD-to-INT ratio. If Nussmeier can continue to elevate his game while also bringing LSU into the playoff, he should be able to stick around the top of the odds board all season.

Arch Manning: The time has come for Arch Manning to step into the spotlight as the true starter for the Texas Longhorns. In his few starts and additional snaps, Manning threw for 939 yards and nine touchdowns while also picking up four more touchdowns on the ground. Manning's dual-threat ability will add another layer of excitement to the Texas offense after Quinn Ewers, and while expectations are sky-high, Manning looks ready to answer the call.

Cade Klubnik: They may not have had a deep run in the CFP, but Clemson will have one of the most experienced and talented quarterbacks in the country next season. After throwing for 19 touchdowns during the 2023 season, Cade Klubnik threw for 36 this season to go along with 3,639 yards. Aside from the fact that Klubnik rarely makes mistakes through the air, he has also been able to dominate opponents on the ground, as he rushed for 463 yards and seven touchdowns this past season.
