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 4 here.
The top of the Heisman Trophy leaderboard remains largely unchanged despite a pretty eventful week across the sport—at least as far as oddsmakers see things.
C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, Caleb Williams and Hendon Hooker all occupy the top four spots with the most notable change being Caleb Williams ascent to second-best odds at +400 behind Stroud (+150).
This is most likely due to an injury that kept Young out for most of Alabama’s victory over Arkansas as the Tide reclaimed the No. 1 spot in the AP Top 25.
But it’s the re-emergence of Adrian Martinez at Kansas State who captured the attention of oddsmakers after Week 5.
Let’s get into it. Odds via BetMGM.
