With the 2017 college football season right around the corner, The Champaign Room’s staff have made a series of predictions. Today, in the series’ third edition, TCR’s staff predicted the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner. Louisville’s Lamar Jackson won the award last season.
Heisman Predictions
Stephen Cohn: JT Barrett (Ohio State QB)
Barrett’s athleticism and leadership will prove to be the difference between Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson winning his second Heisman. With a group of receivers and the trust from Urban Meyer to make smart decisions with the ball in his hands, Barrett will have every opportunity to show voters why he deserves college football’s most prestigious honor in his final season.
