Is Benny Snell a 2018 Heisman contender? At least one website thinks so.
Pro Football Focus, a premium football analytics website that grades every player and play in major college football each week, published its first Heisman Watch List of the 2018 season on Tuesday. Snell was one of three Southeastern Conference players listed along with Mississippi wide receiver A.J. Brown and Mississippi State defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons.
“A relative unknown from those outside of Kentucky and us here at PFF, Snell has had a personal vendetta since Day 1 at Kentucky when he was overlooked as a high school recruit,” wrote PFF’s Cam Mellor.
