As the summer draws to a close, LSU comes into the 2023 football season in uncharted territory: the Tigers have a preseason Heisman contender at quarterback in Jayden Daniels.
Joe Burrow may have had arguably the greatest season in college football history, but going into the fall of 2019 his Heisman odds were virtually nonexistent. Some sportsbooks had Burrow Heisman odds at +15000; others didn’t even have him listed at all. So in that regard, Daniels has a leg up on Burrow.
No matter what book you’re looking at, Daniels is somewhere in the top 10 as a preseason Heisman favorite.
