2024 Heisman odds: Quinn Ewers, Carson Beck are early co-favorites
As the NFL season heads toward Super Bowl LVIII, college football bettors are looking at futures markets.
One market in particular that's getting interest is next season's Heisman odds.
In 2023, LSU's Jayden Daniels won the award. Before the season kicked off, his odds to win the Heisman were +1100. The Tigers quarterback beat out Washington's Michael Penix Jr. to take home the hardware in December of last year.
Who will be next?
Let's dive into next year's odds, which feature two returning quarterbacks at the top.
2024 HEISMAN TROPHY ODDS: *
Quinn Ewers, Texas: +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)
Carson Beck, Georgia: +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)
Dillion Gabriel, Oregon: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
Jalen Milroe, Alabama: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Will Howard, Ohio State: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Nico Iamaleava, Tennessee: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)
Garrett Nussmeier, LSU: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)
Jackson Arnold, Oklahoma: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)
Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)

Conner Weigman, Texas A&M: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
Riley Leonard, Notre Dame: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
Cam Ward, Miami (Fla.): +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
D.J. Uiagalelei, Florida State: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)
Cade Klubnik, Clemson: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)
Brady Cook, Missouri: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)
*odds as of 1/23/2024
First on the board is Texas' Ewers.
The sophomore from Southlake, Texas, finished this past season with 3,479 passing yards and 22 touchdowns. Ewers and the Longhorns got into the playoff committee's final four but lost 37-31 to Washington in the Sugar Bowl semifinal.
Also at the top is Georgia's Beck.
The UGA signal-caller helped led his Dawgs to an undefeated regular season in 2023. After losing 27-24 to Alabama in the SEC title game, Georgia's No. 6 ranking kept them out of the final four.
The Bulldogs ended 2023 with a lopsided 63-3 victory over FSU in the Orange Bowl, as Beck finished the season with 3,941 passing yards and 24 touchdowns.
Alabama's Milroe fell to fourth at +1200, as coach Nick Saban retired and Kalen DeBoer was hired. He was previously at +750.
The Tide, like Texas, got into the CFP's final four. And like Texas, Alabama lost its semifinal game, instead to eventual national champion Michigan. Milroe finished his 2023 with 2,834 passing yards and 23 touchdowns.

Sammy P.: Watch Fifita and Cam Rising
January is for mining value in the Heisman market. I'm not betting any of the favorites now because those prices will mostly hold steady through the summer.
I'm interested in two longer shots: Noah Fifita (+2000) and Cam Rising (+7000 at time of pick, currently +5000).
It's undoubtedly Fifita's show in Tucson going forward, and he has a stable of talented hideouts, led by sophomore Tetairoa McMillan.
Meanwhile, Rising is a longer shot with legs. He threw for 3,000 yards and accounted for 32 touchdowns two seasons ago, but missed all of 2023 after tearing his ACL in the Rose Bowl. Utah should be favored in its first six games and if Rising puts up numbers, those 60- and 70-1 odds will evaporate.
