Just sayin': I guess it's no big surprise that the some of the preseason favorites (Spencer Rattler, DJ Uiagaleli, Breece Hall, and Kedon Slovis) have really dropped down the list.

I locked in Treyveyon at +10,000.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this CJ's to lose?

That's my belief. The only thing he did wrong last year was he didn't kick the OSU defense off the field and single-handedly stop *ichigan from running the ball in the second half. An "average" defense would have made that a game and I think Stroud's play throughout the year should have been enough to get him in above Young.

But what do I know?

Heisman Trophy 2022: Top 10 candidates ranked for college football's biggest award by Athlon

1. CJ STROUD, QB - OHIO STATE

It’s pretty simple, Stroud is the favorite because he's going into Year 2 in Ryan Day’s system. Stroud was outstanding in his first year as a starter in 2021 and he can only get better. His 2021 numbers included 4,435 passing yards, 44 touchdowns tosix interceptions, and a 71.9% completion percentage. He has no shortage of weapons, either. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is back at wide receiver, running back TreyVeon Henderson roams the backfield and other receivers such as Emeka Egbuka and Marvin Harrison Jr. step up to bigger roles in the wide receiver department. Put your money on Stroud to walk away with college football’s biggest individual award, Athlon predicts.

7. JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA, WR - OHIO STATE

Smith-Njigba benefits from playing with Stroud in Day’s offense. Despite being the No. 3 pass catcher on the depth chart behind Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson last year, Smith-Njigba put up big numbers and had the Rose Bowl of his life when the Buckeyes took out Utah. He is now the No. 1 option for Stroud in the passing game, with other talents such as Egbuka and Harrison Jr. lining up with him. He’ll draw more attention but it helps that he has other studs next to him. Smith-Njigba finished the 2021 season with 95 catches for 1,606 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 16.9 yards per catch. He had 347 yards in the Rose Bowl.
