As the final weeks of the regular season and conference championships approach, many fans and pundits will begin to turn their attention to the Heisman Trophy and its competitors. Here are some of the updated odds after week 11, according to FanDuel.
CJ Stroud +125
After holding his team’s perfect 10-0 record and scoring 5 touchdowns in his team’s 56-14 win over Indiana last Saturday, Stroud has become the comfortable favorite to win this year’s trophy after being a finalist the year before was. An impressive performance against rivals Michigan will most likely cement his lead.
Hendon Hooker +425
After a less than desirable performance against Georgia 2 weeks ago, Hooker played one of his games against the Missouri Tigers. Hooker completed over 70% of his passes and threw for 355 yards and 3 touchdowns before deploying the second team offense. Unfortunately for Hooker, he won’t have an SEC championship game to advance his resume and will rely on his strong regular-season stats to win the trophy.
Blake Corum +500
The only running back in the top 5, Corum averages an impressive 166 yards against AP top 25 opponents. On his most recent performance, Corum hit the Nebraska Cornhuskers for 162 yards and a quick touchdown. A potential Top 3 showdown against rivals Ohio State will most likely decide the fate of Corum’s Heisman hopes
Drake Maye +500

Maye is coming off a 448-yard play against conference rivals Wake Forrest. He has now thrown over 300 yards in the last 5 of his 6 games. Unfortunately for Maye, his team’s lower rank seems to keep him from becoming a front runner.
Kaleb Williams +1200
Williams was playing his first season at USC and his second under head coach Lincoln Riley, and has an impressive 31 touchdowns this season while throwing just two interceptions. Williams led his team to an impressive 55-17 win over Colorado last Saturday, where he threw for 3 touchdowns and averaged 10.3 yards per shot.
Stetson Bennett +1600
Leading the nation’s No. 1 team, Bennett came as a pleasant surprise to many doubters a year ago and rightly finds himself in the conversation as a Heisman winner. However, the prospect of Bennett taking a trip to New York is very likely. It will take near-perfect performances from Bennett in the next two regular season games and the SEC championship for him to have a chance to lift the trophy.
Max Duggan+6000
Possibly the biggest surprise of the season, TCU is undefeated and very strong in the playoff race. Thanks to the outstanding performance of their senior quarterback Max Duggan. Duggan has thrown 25 career-high touchdowns this season and has been extremely protective of the ball toss, throwing only 2 interceptions.
Bryce Young +10000
As the winner of last year’s Heisman Trophy, Young didn’t have the same success as last year. His numbers in completions, yards and touchdowns will be far lower than last year and without a conference title or playoff birth going forward. Young’s Heisman hopes are most likely dead.
