C.J. Stroud is the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy this season, with TreVeyon Henderson and Jaxon Smith-Njigba also among the top seven candidates.
, nine picked Stroud to take home the Heisman this season; one picked Smith-Njigba to do so.
Let's take a look at why each of Ohio State's three Heisman candidates to begin the season could win college football's most prestigious individual award at season's end.With a year under his belt, Stroud will be more prepared and have better patience while leading the offense. Add in the fact that he has a loaded group of wide receivers to throw to, and it's obvious why the junior is the favorite to win the Heisman this year.
Even though he's not much of a scrambler and would much prefer to move downfield with his arm rather than by using his legs, Stroud should rack up enough passing yards and touchdowns to keep his name at or near the top of the rankings.His only problem could be the fact that teammates such as Henderson could take yards and touchdowns away from him. Then again, if Ohio State's offense lives up to expectations, it will move the ball and score so much that it might not even matter.
Now, with a year under his belt and with all of the attention on Ohio State's passing attack, Henderson has the chance to improve on those incredible numbers from last season.The Buckeyes’ potential to dominate through the air might not work in favor of Henderson in the Heisman Trophy race. Neither does the fact that Henderson’s backup, Miyan Williams, deserves to get plenty of opportunities as well.
