Skull Session: C.J. Stroud and Desmond Howard had a moment, a suit was ruined on Saturday and Kyle McCord and Marvin Harrison Jr. are “way-too-early” Heisman hopefuls.
To continue with the Heisman-themed discussion of today's Skull Session, I will turn to a recent ESPN article that included current backup quarterback Kyle McCord and star receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. on its list ofYes, that's right. We are already to the point of making “way-too-early” predictions for the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner because...
According to ESPN's Bill Connelly, McCord and Harrison – a former quarterback and wide receiver connection at St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia – are two names to watch, with McCord as an “up-and-comer” and Harrison as a “momentum player.”Consider this a placeholder for whoever becomes Ohio State's -- or Alabama's! -- starting quarterback next year. There could be some twists and turns in both QB battles, but we know that McCord was C.J.
I find Connelly’s expectations to be fair and accurate for both players. However, I see both of them being in an uphill battle to claim a seat in New York next year. The field will be competitive, with 2021 winner Caleb Williams returning to USC for another season and 2021 top-10 finalists Michael Penix Jr. of Washington and Drake Maye of North Carolina also running it back with their squads.
McCord will first need to beat out Devin Brown and whatever other competition is on the roster next fall before not only playing well enough to keep his role as a starter but excelling at an extremely high rate. Meanwhile, Harrison will need to be even more of a superhuman than he was this season to be considered for a Heisman, as we all know it is a quarterback-only award these days.THANK YOU, CAPTAIN AMERICA.
