2025 Heisman Odds: Early betting lines on college football's most prestigious trophy

With the latest season in college football now over, the odds have already been shared of who could now win The Heisman Trophy in 2025

FanDuel released those this morning with multiple quarterbacks leading the way on the list for next fall.

Heisman Trophy Odds

LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier (+900)

Garrett Nussmeier is the odds-on favorite to win The Heisman Trophy in 2025 after returning to Baton Rouge for his redshirt senior season.

That’s after Nussmeier, in his first season as the Tigers’ QB1, completed 64.2% of his passes for 4,052 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions with the yardage and passing scores both being in the top-ten nationally. Now, if he’s more of the same or better next season with even more weapons on the outside, Nuss could be the latest quarterback at LSU to win the award.

Texas QB Arch Manning (+950)

After two seasons, it’ll be time for Arch Manning next season on The 40 Acres.

Manning, in a handful of appearances behind and, at times, in place of Quinn Ewers as a redshirt freshman, completed 67.8% of his throws for 939 yards, nine touchdowns, and two picks while rushing for four more scores. Now, he will be the long-awaited quarterback of the Longhorns next year with this spot in second suggesting he begins to live up to the family name.

Clemson QB Cade Klubnik (+1100)

Coming off a career-best season, Cade Klubnik is then tied in third in Heisman odds for FanDuel

Klubnik posted 63.4% completion for 3,639 yards, which was top-ten nationally, and 36 touchdowns, the third-most in the sport, with six interceptions while also running for seven more scores. That development for a third season in that offense and fourth overall as a senior could then get him into this conversation.

Penn State QB Drew Allar (+1100)

Drew Allar, despite how the season ended, also had a career-best season to have him now tied for third with Klubnik.

Allar completed 66.5% of his passes for 3,327 yards, 24 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while rushing for six scores too. He’ll now be back in University Park, though, in deciding to return to college rather than going pro, which, in hindsight of the playoff, could make a big difference in where he could eventually be drafted someday.

Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava (+1100)

Nico Iamaleava rounds out the top-five going into his second season as the starter on Rocky Top.

Iamaleava didn’t fully meet the hype, specifically against power competition, in completing 63.8% of his passes for 2,616 yards, 19 touchdowns, and five picks plus rushing for three more. Still, it’s more than enough to have him this high and to build on going into next year with a Volunteer offense that has put up numbers.

Ohio State WR Jeremiah Smith (+1700)

The first non-quarterback, with a gap between him and the top-five, is an obvious one with the kind of true freshman season that Jeremiah Smith just had.

Smith, who’s already a national champion now, had 76 receptions for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns for the Buckeyes, including 19 total catches for 95.3 yards a game and five receiving scores during the CFP. That already has him as one of the best players and prospects, let alone wideouts, in all of college football going into just his second year as a sophomore.

Miami QB Carson Beck (+1800)

Carson Beck remains a top candidate for the Heisman despite changing schools this offseason from Georgia to The ‘U.

Beck saw his numbers go down this year but, over the past two seasons as a starter, he averaged 3,713 yards, 26 touchdowns, and nine interceptions on 68.6% completion. That, paired with an offense that had another candidate at quarterback just this year for the ‘Canes, has him in contention again but now in Coral Gables.

Ohio State QB Julian Sayin (+1800)

Of all the quarterbacks who could have succeeded Will Howard, Julian Sayin now looks to be the projected starter next season in Columbus.

With Howard gone after winning the national championship and the transfers of Devin Brown and Air Noland, Sayin could take the Buckeyes’ QB1 spot in his second collegiate season. That’s after making four appearances where he went five-for-twelve for 84 yards and a score as a backup.

Oregon QB Dante Moore (+2000)

Dante Moore is now the second-straight young quarterback on this list who’ll look to be the starter in place of an experienced veteran that’s leaving.

Moore appeared in just five games this fall behind Dillon Gabriel as he was seven-of-eight for 49 yards. However, what he does have is experience from the season prior as a true freshman at UCLA where he was fine at 53.5% completion for 1,610 yards, eleven interceptions, and nine picks.

South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers (+2000)

Closing the top-ten is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the country in LaNorris Sellers.

Sellers, in his first season as a starter as a sophomore with the Gamecocks, completed 65.6% of his passes for 2,534 yards, 18 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while rushing for seven more scores. Now, after getting some buzz for this award by season’s end, he could be set to be a Heisman contender a year later in Columbia.

Oklahoma QB John Mateer (+2500)
Florida QB DJ Lagway (+2500)
SMU QB Kevin Jennings (+3000)
Ole Miss QB Austin Simmons (+3000)
Louisville QB Miller Moss (+3300)
Georgia QB Gunner Stockton (+3300)
Texas A&M QB Marcell Reed (+4000)
