2017 Heisman Trophy Predictions

Here are my predictions on how the 2017 College Football Hesiman Trophy race will play out.

Who'll Be Heading to New York?
1. Sam Darnold, Quarterback, USC: Darnold is my pick to win the Heisman Trophy this season and he is also the favorite to win it as well. He will make his teammates better and lead his team to great things this season. I picked USC to win the National Championship, so a conference championship and a playoff finalist should help his cause as well.

2. Lamar Jackson, Quarterback, Louisville: The reigning Heisman winner will be back to lead the Cardinals. I'm not sure if he will be as good, but I have the Cardinals making the playoff and that should help Jackson's cause.

3. Bo Scarbrough, Running Back, Alabama: Scarbrough is my sleeper candidate to make it to New York. He will be running behind a strong offensive line and is on a team I picked to go unbeaten in the regular season and that should help his cause.

Rest of the Top-10 Finalists
4. Saquon Barkley, Running Back, Penn State
5. Mason Rudolph, Quarterback, Oklahoma State
6. Baker Mayfield, Quarterback, Oklahoma
7. Deondre Francois, Quarterback, Florida State

9. Jake Browning, Quarterback, Washington
