An injury absence hasn't completely killed the Heisman Trophy hype surrounding Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers.
among the favorites to win the prestigious award, as he currently has the eighth-best odds to claim the Heisman. Considering it will be have been four weeks since appearing in a game when he inevitably makes his return this weekened against No. 18 Oklahoma, Ewers will need to make up tons of ground during SEC play if he's wants to put together resume worthy enough of earning a spot in New York City as one of the Heisman finalists.
In three appearances so far this season, Ewers has gone 58 of 79 passing for 691 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions. If he can close out the year the way he did last season after returning from a two-game injury absence while Texas wins games, could creep his way up Heisman prediction rankings.
Just for fun, DraftKings has two other Longhorns on the Heisman list, as quarterback Arch Manning and running back Jaydon Blue both currently have listed odds on the sportsbook. Ewers and No. 1 Texas will take on No. 18 Oklahoma this weeked in the Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT.
