Vaughn, the Heisman market is out with early odds, and it is a tight four-way race at the top.
You've got CJ Carr, you've got Arch Manning, Dante Moore, and Darian Mensah.
All roads are leading to game day this weekend, and the last pre-season favorite to actually win this award was Marcus Mariota, the Duck, all the way back in 2014.
So how do you look at this market?
Is there value fading the favorites?
I do think CJ Carr has a chance.
You know, they have to go undefeated, in my opinion, for Notre Dame to bring home a Heisman winner this season.
But my favorite bet is gonna be Darian Mensah with Miami, because they could also go undefeated, but they have to do They have to beat Notre Dame this year.
But if you look at, that's their toughest test, and if they do that, 12 and 0 is very much on the cards for this Hurricanes team.
Mensah was incredible with Duke last year.
He won the ACC.
Hurricanes have never won the ACC, so Mensah could win back-to-back this year.
I think he's a part of the best trio in college football, if you're talking about quarterback, running back, and receiver.
You got Mensah throwing to Malachi Tony, the second-best receiver in all of football.
You got Mark Fletcher Jr., absolute dog, proof he's a bell cow, but they also have depth behind him.
And you look at the rest of the guys they signed, they got Cooper Barkate from Duke, his top wideout last year.
They got Jacobs from South Carolina and Kam Vaughn from WVU.
Both guys were top two receivers on their team.
So this is tailor-made offense just for Mensah, in my opinion.
He could absolutely scratch the surface of a 4,000-plus total yard year and 40-plus touchdowns, so And Miami could score more points than they did last year, which would have to approach that 40-point-per-game mark.
I think it's possible with him, man.
Yeah, Miami's got a cupcake schedule, so get in on deals- Mm-hmm all day long on the DraftKings app.
