The 2023 Heisman Trophy race is already underway, even if the season is months away.
The Texas Longhorns returning starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, a redshirt sophomore, is among the early frontrunners. Here’s how On3 reasoned with Ewers’ early lead in the odds: “Easily the Big 12’s most likely Heisman Trophy contender, Ewers was officially anointed QB1 for the Longhorns this spring after holding off Maalik Murphy and Arch Manning. The former No. 1 overall recruit flashed his 5-star talent against Alabama and Oklahoma last season, but he also struggled with injuries and inconsistencies. But after a strong spring and surrounded by the best supporting cast of playmakers not at Ohio State, Ewers should have a monster sophomore season.
