Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty and Colorado defensive back/wide receiver Travis Hunter have long been considered favorites for the 2024 edition of the Heisman Trophy. But some mystery had surrounded who would join them at the award ceremony in New York on Saturday. On Monday evening, Heisman organizers put that speculation to rest by revealing that yes, Jeanty and Hunter are among the top vote-getters for college football's most prestigious award, but also that quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel of Oregon and Cam Ward of Miami (Fla.) will be making the trip to New York, as well. Hunter, the Buffaloes' two-way star, has been the betting favorite for several weeks and will enter Saturday in the pole position after an All-Big 12 season at both cornerback and wide receiver.
