NCAA Football Heisman Trophy Betting

Joe Burrow joined college football’s most exclusive club in December 2019. After one of the most impressive seasons in the modern era, Burrow won the Heisman Trophy in a landslide. His Heisman Trophy betting odds were off the board at the end of the regular season, and even a poor performance against Georgia in the SEC Championship Game wouldn’t have prevented Burrow from winning the award.

Burrow won the 2019 Heisman Trophy by a record margin. He received the highest percentage of first place votes in the history of the award, appearing at the top of 90.7 percent ballots, and he received the highest ever percentage of points. Jalen Hurts finished a whopping 1,846 points behind Burrow, and it’s unlikely we’ll see another player win by a similar margin in the near future.

Heisman Trophy History

There generally isn't much drama ahead of the Heisman Trophy presentation. Although the powers that be strongly discourage voters from making their ballots public, it’s usually pretty obvious who will win the award. The most notable exception in recent years was in 2018 when Kyler Murray edged Tua Tagovailoa to become the second straight Oklahoma quarterback to win the Heisman.

Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Oklahoma are three of the most storied programs in college football, so it shouldn't be all that surprising that they have the most Heisman Trophy winners. USC would have had seven Heisman Trophy winners as well if not for the fact that Reggie Bush's 2005 honor was ultimately vacated for NCAA violations.

Quarterbacks and running backs are basically the only players that have won the Heisman Trophy in recent years. The last player who wasn't a quarterback or a running back to win the Heisman Trophy was Charles Woodson in 1997, and prior to that it was Desmond Howard in 1991. Since the award’s inception in 1935, a running back has won the award 41 times and a quarterback has won it 36 times.
