Latest Heisman Rankings Spark Debate Among College Football Fans

The Heisman Trophy, given annually to college football's most outstanding player, is considered the most prestigious award in college football. However, some argue that it has become too heavily weighted towards quarterbacks.

A quarterback has won the Heisman Trophy in 12 of the last 14 seasons. On3's Jesse Simonton has created his top 10 Heisman contender list for 2024, and it's safe to say that he thinks a quarterback will win the award once again.

Simonton's top 10 list exclusively features quarterbacks. Here is his list:

1. Carson Beck, Georgia
2. Quinn Ewers, Texas
3. Dillon Gabriel, Oregon
4. Jalen Milroe, Alabama
5. Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss
6. Cam Ward, Miami
7. Riley Leonard, Notre Dame
8. Nico Iamaleava, Tennessee
9. Will Howard, Ohio State
10. Noah Fifita, Arizona

That list has caused split reactions from some fans on social media. Some love the list and are already picking which player from it will hoist the trophy. Others are questioning it.

Some wonder where star players such as Shedeur Sanders and Drew Allar are, while another person suggested that it's time to consider it a quarterback award.
