2025 Heisman Watch: John Mateer’s injury opens the door to new contenders

With the quarter of Oklahoma, John Mateer, undergoing surgery that will put him away for several weeks, the Heisman race is already taking shape.

A few weeks after the university football season, Heisman’s chances were completely upset. The quarter of the Texas Arch Manning has opened its doors as a betting of betting to bring the Heisman, and its chances are at the bottom to +4000 on Fanduel Sportsbook – longer than Haynes King by Georgia Tech and Beau Pribula from Missouri.

The Sooners are 4-0 and Mateer looked first to make a Heisman race. He had both personality and pedigree to do the work. But without him, this image of Heisman becomes much clearer.

Discover the new list of favorites that could steal the Heisman trophy during a strange year of university football.

Fernando Mendoza, Indiana QB (+650)

Mendoza officially took over for the best odds of winning the Heisman trophy.

California’s 21 -year transfer has an obstacle to the Indiana offensive. More recently, the Hoosiers have upset the Illinois n ° 9. Mendoza was released in this match. He managed 21 years out of 23 yards for 267 yards and five affected.

The junior quarter will control his own destiny. If he continues to play well against adversaries classified like Oregon and Penn State, he has the capacity to cement Indiana in the playoffs of university football and to flee with Heisman this year.

Dante Moore, Oregon QB (+1100)

Similar to Mendoza, the quarter of Oregon ranked matches against Penn State, Indiana and USC.

He transparently resumed Dan Lanning’s program after Dillon Gabriel graduated from the NFL.

But more importantly, Oregon has a list that could participate in the big ten this year. If Moore can raise the list around him and deliver a few Heisman moments along the way, he could be a solid Heisman option.

Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State WR (+1100)

It was a bad university football season for the quarters.

Cade Klubnik crashed and burned with the Clemson season. Manning is a bust so far. Garrett Nussmeir did not jump as some hoped. Drew Allar de Penn State is not found.

Although he is not a quarter-Arrière, Smith is the best player in university football. For three games, he passed Will Howard in Julian Sayin as his quarters. Buckeyes are team n ° 1 in the country and could occupy this position throughout the season as long as they take care of business.

If Mendoza and Moore do not come on occasion like the other quarters of their class, Smith should run away with the Heisman trophy, making him the second without a consecutive quarter to face the price.
