Each week this college football season, BetFTW will take a look at the 2022 Heisman Trophy race and break down the contenders. Check back each Monday as the best college football players in the country jockey for position with both oddsmakers and bettors. Preseason odds can be found here and Week 5 here.
Ohio State’s C. J. Stroud finds his spot atop the Heisman odds leaderboard more secure after Week 5. Stroud jumped from +150 last week to -150 this week with USC’s Caleb Williams the closest at +1000. Bryce Young (Alabama) is still in that third spot, but Tennessee QB Herndon Hooker has pulled even with the reigning Heisman Trophy winner at +1400 odds this week.
The biggest surprise is the appearance of Dorian Thompson-Robinson at the No. 5 spot. UCLA’s quarterback accounted for five touchdowns on Saturday in a win over No. 11 Utah, helping him jump from off the board in Week 5 to +1600 in Week 6.
