Hendon Hooker leapfrogs Bryce Young, Caleb Williams in Week 6’s Heisman Poll

Hendon Hooker is climbing the ranks, but can he challenge C.J. Stroud?

Following Week 5, the College Wire editors submitted their weekly Heisman Poll ballots. Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud was able to distance himself from the closest competition. Given the performance of Hendon Hooker, it might be a two-horse race when it is all said and done. Hooker can make a name for himself this week against Alabama.

Last week’s poll featured 19 players but seven dropped off in the latest edition. We even saw a new addition to the poll with UCLA QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Each editor picked their top three choices with the top candidate receiving five points, the second choice receiving three points, and the final choice receiving one point.

We break down how each of our 13 candidates fared in the poll, ties are listed in alphabetical order.
