Caleb Williams remains a steady favorite. Starting at +500 and now sitting at a comfortable +350, the USC quarterback commands 7.5% of the tickets and a whopping 16.0% of the handle. Those are some heavy pockets believing Williams can join an exclusive club by winning back-to-back Heismans.

The odds for Jordan Travis show an interesting trend. Starting at +1200, dipping to +1000, and currently hovering at +850, the FSU signal-caller has 4.4% of bettors’ tickets and 7.3% of the handle.
J.J. McCarthy isn’t far behind. From an initial +2500, the Michigan product is now priced at +1400. Though he holds 4.0% of the tickets, the handle’s a tad lower at 4.5%.
Quinn Ewers, beginning at +1400, faced a spike at +2000 but has now settled at +1000. The Longhorns QB is on fewer tickets (2.3%) and is not commanding much of the handle at 2.6%.
Lastly, Michael Penix Jr. began his Heisman journey at +1600, saw a brief dip to +850, and remains there. With 2.3% tickets and 2.4% handle, the Washington pivot is still not getting bettor love.
So, there you have it, the latest and greatest on the Heisman betting futures. Will your favorite player take home the coveted trophy? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: the race is far from over!
