Carson Beck finished last season with an 86.0 QBR (fifth in college football) while completing 72.4% of his passes with a 24:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

He has the ability to dominate and with the Tigers' defense going up against him, it will be interesting to see how Beck looks in this game.

#2 Shedeur Sanders, Colorado

Shedeur Sanders was able to show what he is able to do at a Power Five level last season, as he had a 27:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio while completing 69.3% of his passes.

The team significantly improved their offensive line and that should be a massive plus for Sheduer Sanders' ability to be in the Heisman Trophy race.

The Buffaloes are going up against North Dakota State in Week 1 of the college football season and should be able to have a massive start to the 2024 season for his Heisman candidacy.

#3 Quinn Ewers, Texas

Quinn Ewers is one of the best quarterbacks in the entire nation and returning for his senior season with the Texas Longhorns is going to be interesting for his Heisman campaign.

He is going up against Colorado State in Week 1 and with the injuries to the running back, expect Ewers to be asked to throw the ball even more this season.

Ewers finished last year completing 69.0% of his passes with a 22:6 touchdown-to-interception ratio and with three new wide receivers, the team's offense is going to be in a great spot to score points in their first game officially part of the SEC. Expect to see Quinn Ewers dominate as the year goes on.
