Colorado's Travis Hunter, Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, Tennessee's Nico Iamaleava among those who boosted their Heisman Trophy stock in Week 1.
BOISE, ID - SEPTEMBER 17: Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty rushes with the football during a college football game between the UT Martin Skyhawks and the Boise State Broncos on September 17, 2022, at Albertsons Stadium in Boise, ID. Week 1 of the 2024 college football season is in the books. And while it’s early — really early — a few players emerged as Heisman Trophy contenders to watch this season.
Last year was my first as a Heisman voter, and I’m slated to do it again in 2024. After each weekend of games this fall, I’ll be tracking who’s contending for the most coveted trophy in the sport. The name to know leaving Week 1 is Jeanty. The Boise State star, who was reportedly offered big NIL money to transfer, saw his Heisman odds jump from +15000 after turning heads in the opener. Jeanty posted a school-record 267 yards and six rushing touchdowns in Boise State’s win over Georgia Southern. We all know the Heisman is a de facto QB award. But Jeanty has entered the early conversation.The former five-star quarterback lived up to the hype. Sure, it was against Chattanooga.
Let me acknowledge this now: the Colorado hype is too much. Far too much. The Buffaloes barely beat an FCS team and aren’t CFP contenders. But if Hunter keeps producing in the Deion Sanders spotlight, expect him to be in the Heisman mix.Penn State-West Virginia: Drew Allar, Harrison Wallace III star in Nittany Lions’ 34-12 win
