College football will be here before we know it.
With kickoff less than two months away, sportsbooks are looking ahead to the 2025 Heisman Trophy.
According to BetMGM, Texas quarterback Arch Manning currently has the highest ticket (21.3%) and the highest handle (32.8%) to take home college football’s highest honor.
While Manning is emerging as the early favorite to win the award, what other names should bettors be eyeing?
Let’s get into the early odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of July 8.
Texas-Ohio State in Joel Klatt’s top games that will shape the 2025 season
2025 Heisman Trophy odds:
Arch Manning, Texas: +650 (bet $10 to win $75 total)
Garrett Nussmeier, LSU: +850 (bet $10 to win $95 total)
Cade Klubnik, Clemson: +950 (bet $10 to win $105 total)
Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)
LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)
Julian Sayin, Ohio State: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)
Drew Allar, Penn State: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)

Sam Leavitt (Arizona State): +2800 (bet $10 to win $290 total)
Carson Beck, Miami:+3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)
Out of the top 12 players on the Heisman oddsboard, 11 of them are quarterbacks, probably because over the last 12 years, nine of the winners were QBs.
Last year’s winner, Travis Hunter, became the first two-way player since 1997 to win (Charles Woodson).
So, what will happen this upcoming season?
Oddsmakers see the 2025 QB class as a talented one, with Manning sitting atop the board at +650.
While the Texas standout has started just twice during his college career, his talent as both a passer and a runner — as well as the fact that he is a Manning? — has him as an early favorite.

FOX Sports NFL analyst Bucky Brooks noted, “The nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning is more talented than his uncles, with more power and pop as a passer. Manning flashes big-play potential as a passer and runner with the ability to produce explosives from inside and outside the pocket.”
Next on the board is Garrett Nussmeier, who threw 337 passes for 4,052 yards and 29 touchdowns last season. Those 4,052 passing yards rank No. 2 in LSU history for a single season and No. 10 in SEC history.
At +850, Nussmeier sits slightly above Clemson QB Cade Klubnik at +950.
Klubnik has had a notable career as a Tiger, ranking among the top five in Clemson history for passing touchdowns (fourth), passing yards (fourth), passing attempts (fourth) and completions (fifth). He has completed 659 of 1,040 passes for 7,180 yards, recording 57 touchdowns and 18 interceptions over the course of his 37 games (28 starts).
Klubnik has also added 286 carries for 784 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns.
