With twists and turns expected on a weekly basis before December, the race for the Heisman Trophy has coalesced around five quarterbacks with a legitimate chance at the greatest individual honor in college sports.
Bryce Young and Matt Corral have led the charge since September. Kenny Pickett has the numbers and has Pittsburgh on track for an ACC championship.
Another pair of young quarterbacks have forced their way into the conversation. Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is playing as well as any quarterback in the Football Bowl Subdivision as the Buckeyes prepare for a key stretch of Big Ten games.
