Heisman Trophy Race Heats Up: LSU's Jayden Daniels Takes the Lead

Oregon's Bo Nix and Washington's Michael Penix Jr. remain strong contenders, with Georgia's Carson Beck emerging as a potential dark horse.

LSU's Jayden Daniels leads the Heisman Trophy race after accumulating over 500 total yards and eight touchdowns against Georgia State, making him the betting favorite.
Daniels has over 3,500 passing yards and 1,110 rushing yards this season, making him the 11th quarterback in FBS history to throw for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 in the same season.
Oregon's Bo Nix and Washington's Michael Penix Jr. are also strong contenders, with Nix potentially overtaking Daniels if he wins the Pac-12 championship game.
Georgia's Carson Beck has shown significant improvement this season, with six 300-yard games over the past eight weeks, making him a potential dark horse in the race.
The Heisman Trophy winner will be decided in the coming weeks, with the performance in championship games likely to be a key factor.
