One player can alter the entire course of a season for a conference. In the Southeastern Conference, that player often wins the Heisman Trophy.
Several players from the SEC come to mind in regard to taking over the league. Former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow went from a 57.8% passer in 2018 to the most dominant passer college football has ever seen.
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and Auburn quarterback Cam Newton won with a man-among-boys dual threat attack. They were among players who had the greatest effect on their conference in a given season.
2024 presents several options to take that mantle. Numerous SEC programs have Heisman contenders and potential All-Americans who can make their presence known.
Let’s predict the players who have the ability to take over the conference next fall.
