Each week at Action Network we will monitor the 2024 Heisman race.

Whose Heisman stock is up and whose Heisman stock is dropping?

The odds have been shaken up after Week 3, when Heisman's favorite Quinn Ewers went down with an injury.

Let's take a look at how the odds have changed for college football's most coveted individual trophy. These odds are courtesy of BetMGM, but if you're looking for a full list of the odds from various sportsbooks, visit here.

Stock Up

Miami QB Cam Ward

Current Odds: +450

The new favorite to win the Heisman Trophy is Miami's Cam Ward. The Washington State transfer cemented himself as a legitimate Heisman candidate during the Week 1 win over Florida. He's thrown for over 300 yards in each of his first three games and has thrown 11 touchdowns and one interception.

Texas QB Arch Manning

Current Odds: +1600

Ewers was taken off the board after he suffered an injury against UTSA. Reports from Austin are saying Ewers' injury is "week-to-week."

If Ewers is out long-term, Manning will be able to sneak into the Heisman conversation. He jumped up from +10000 to +16000 after coming in to relieve Ewers. Manning threw for 223 yards and four touchdowns while also adding 53 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty

Current Odds: +2000

Jeanty wasn't on the Heisman odds board until September 9. He has 59 yards and nine touchdowns through two games, and that's garnered some attention from the rest of the country.


Stock Down

Georgia QB Carson Beck

Current Odds: +1100

While many of the top favorites moved up due to the Ewers injury, Beck slid down. Beck threw for just 160 yards and no touchdowns in a primetime slot against Kentucky. He should have more opportunities to try to improve his stock, but other quarterbacks have performed better so far.

Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders

Current Odds: +8000

Sanders is fourth in the nation in passing yards and fourth in touchdowns. His performance on the big stage left a lot to be desired, but there's still a high chance of him putting up big numbers this season.

Kansas QB Jalon Daniels

Current Odds: +20000

Daniels was considered a dark horse candidate to win the Heisman, but he hasn't had any stellar performances so far. He's slid from +3000 at the start of the season to +20000 currently.

Possible Week 4 Movers

Tennessee QB Nico Iamaleava

Current Odds: +800

Iamaleava has an opportunity on a big stage to continue to grow his Heisman stock. No. 8 Tennessee goes on the road to play No. 15 Oklahoma.

USC QB Miller Moss

Current Odds: +2000

Moss and USC go on the road to face Michigan. Ewers came away from a game against Michigan as the Heisman favorite. Moss' stock will improve with a good performance.
