As Bryce Young looks to defend his Heisman Trophy, CJ Stroud tops the oddsboard. Let’s examine the Heisman Trophy futures markets to determine which players offer value at their current prices.
Young opened with odds of +800 to win the Heisman Trophy in 2021. But that price was long gone after his first game, and Young was then adjusted to +150. His price didn’t exceed +225 for the remainder of the season, and he was able to capture the trophy while getting 684 of the 875 possible first-place votes.
There are three very clearly defined favorites for the 2022 Heisman Trophy: Young, CJ Stroud, and Caleb Williams. Stroud was actually a -200 favorite to win the 2021 award before Ohio State’s final regular-season game against Michigan, but he ultimately finished fourth.
