As crazy as it sounds, there will be no clear Heisman Trophy favorite heading into the 2024 season. A large reason for that is a lot of the contenders in 2023 like Bo Nix, Michael Penix, Jordan Travis, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Jayden Daniels will all be playing on Sundays next year.
With J.J. McCarthy likely heading pro, Alabama quarterback, Jalen Milroe, who finished sixth in the 2023 standings was the highest-voted player returning to college in 2024. As of right now, FanDuel has Quinn Ewers, Carson Beck and Jalen Milroe all tied as the favorite to win the award at +750. All three quarterbacks will be playing in the SEC next season.
Coming off of a disappointing Rose Bowl performance, I think Milroe knows there is a lot of room for growth and will get back to the drawing board. It will also help to have a full off-season with Tommy Rees in Tuscaloosa. Backup quarterback Ty Simpson decided to stay in Tuscaloosa and battle it out for the starting job in 2024, so Milroe will have no room to be complacent.
