The 2023 Heisman Trophy finalists have been announced, and Jayden Daniels is one of the four top players in consideration for the award. He has had an incredible season for the LSU Tigers, as he is 236-of-327 (72.2 completion percentage) for 3,812 yards with 40 touchdowns to four interceptions.
He's also a prolific runner, as he has 135 rushing attempts for 1,134 yards (8.4 yards per carry) with 10 rushing touchdowns. Daniels already walked away with the AP College Football Player of the Year Award earlier this week, so what are the chances that he also adds the Heisman Trophy to his collection?
What are the Heisman Trophy odds for Jayden Daniels?
Jayden Daniels has been one of the most talented players in college football, as he has put up incredible numbers for the LSU Tigers. The other three finalists are Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr, Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr and Oregon Ducks quarterback Bo Nix.
