Travis Hunter Leads 2024 Heisman Trophy Race as Season Nears End

The Colorado star's two-way performance positions him as the favorite, with key contenders still vying for the prestigious award.

Travis Hunter's standout play as both wide receiver and cornerback has made him the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy, a feat not achieved since Charles Woodson in 1997.
Despite Miami's recent loss to Georgia Tech, quarterback Cam Ward remains in contention but faces an uphill battle to regain his leading position.
Dillon Gabriel, quarterback for top-ranked Oregon, and Boise State's Ashton Jeanty are among the closest challengers to Hunter, though they need strong finishes to close the gap.
Indiana's Kurtis Rourke has emerged as a dark horse candidate, leading the Hoosiers to a 10-0 record and potentially boosting his odds with an upset over Ohio State.
Colorado's success in the Big 12, with Hunter playing over 1,000 snaps this season, has been crucial to his Heisman candidacy, with the team favored in their remaining regular-season games.
