RELATED: Odds for Heisman Trophy
Currently, quarterback Myles Brennan from the LSU Tigers is leading in both tickets and handle to win the Heisman Trophy at Caesars Sportsbook.
How much of a surprise is the QB? He may not even be his team's starting quarterback this season.
The fifth-year senior has played in only 20 games over the last four seasons, starting just three games in 2021. He is 121-for-201 passing (60.2%) for 1,712 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions in his career.
And Brennan faces competition from Jayden Daniels, who enrolled at LSU from the transfer portal after starting 28 games for Arizona State.
For comparison's sake, 2019 Heisman winner Joe Burrow was 403-for-527 passing (76.3%) for 5,671 yards, 60 touchdowns and six interceptions. In one season.
Brennan has been gaining traction at Caesars Sportsbook. So much so that his odds to win the award have shortened from +10000 (4/18) to +6000.
So why all the hype on the QB who entered the transfer portal in November but changed his mind?
"College sports rule Louisiana and rightly so," said Craig Mucklow, Caesars Sportsbook vice president of trading. "The public taking the marquee QBs in a market dominated by QB winners in the past is no surprise and the Louisiana faithful are following their belief in these players with significant wagers.
