Heisman Trophy Candidates Top 10

Article By: Vic

Since we had a extra week to get games in at the end of the season I waited until most of the games were played to get this list out so here we go

1. Phil Mafah RB Clemson
359 carries 3003 rushing yards 37 rushing TDS 28 receptions 441 receiving yards 2 receiving TDS

Phil and Coach eljefe has been dominant all year he is close to breaking the NDL rushing record best season ever by RB some may say we will see.

2. Nate Noel RB Missouri
247 carries 2328 rushing yards 22 rushing TDS 11 receptions 131 receiving yards

The fact that Noel has 100 less carries and is only less than 700 yards behind Mafah makes him special the fact he’s done it in the SEC makes it extraordinary at 11-1 the tigers are on the brink of the CFP and Noel is the main reason why.

3. Zachariah Branch WR USC
71 receptions 1826 receiving yards 23 receiving TDS 40 returns 700 return yards 3 return TDS

Even though the Notre dame loss was tough the overall season was special over 2500 total yards and 25 total TDS by wide out is special.

4. Byrum Brown QB USF
251 for 316 79.4 % completion percentage 3604 passing yards 36 passing TDS 83 carries 336 rushing yards 12 rushing TDS

Brown and coach joker mesh together like PB&J the best system for the best player on the team on offense has carried the team to the conference championship with a chance at the CFP for south Florida hopefully the defense do thier job and maybe brown can raise up some hardware this season.

5 . Shedeur Sanders QB Colorado
264 for 341 77.4 completion percentage 4168 passing yards 47 passing TDS

Shedeur has been the leader for coach Andy and the buffs now they look to win the big 12 for the first time since 2001 that’s more than a generation between conference championships and I’m sure if they do get it done it will be because of the arm of sanders.

6. Devin Roche RB Old Dominion
216 carries 2601 rushing yards 29 rushing TDS 52 receptions 917 receiving yards 14 TDS

If everybody in front of him on this list has been the key Devin is the whole damn house for ODU it starts pauses and stops with him for this team and with a outside shot of the CFP if they win the Sun belt it will put him on the biggest stage vs a power 4 team.

7. John Mateer QB Washington State
250 for 330 75.7 completion percentage 3554 passing yards 37 passing TDS 105 carries 531 rushing yards 11 rushing TDS

John Mateer in his one and only year starting at WSU is making the most of it this season leading the cougs to a 11-1 season this season in the NDL if it’s picking up a first down running or passing John is your man no games coming up but look for him to show out in the bowl game.

8. Travis Hunter WR/CB Colorado
76 receptions 1530 receiving yards 16 receiving TDS 54 tackles 2 tackles for loss 7 interceptions

What can’t Hunter do (probably can’t kick lol) but with what he does do he does a great job leading the team in receiving and top 5 in tackles on the team and leads the team in interceptions look for him to be the X factor in the big 12 championship game.

9 Dillion Gabriel QB Oregon
195 for 265 73.5 completion percentage 3705 passing yards 36 passing TDS

Undefeated in a power 4 ✅
Best TD/ INT ratio ✅
Tough schedule ❌
That’s why he is number 9 on the list

10. Princely Umanmieien DE Ole Miss/ Omarion Hampton RB North Carolina (Tie)
41 tackles 25 tackles for loss 16 sacks 1 Fumble recovery 1 TD for prince 276 carries 1975 rushing yards 22 rushing TDS 45 receptions 556 receiving yards 9 receiving TDS for Hampton

Both of these guys are great top 10 in the NDl in TFLs and sacks for prince and top ten rusher for Omarion. Prince can move up with a standout performance in the SEC title game no more games left for Hampton so this may be the last time we see the “total package”of the NDL on this list.

The list is fluid if you don’t like where you’re guy is on the list just play hard show out because I’ll be watching and there will be no jenty on this list not at all not even a write in vote.
