The race for the 2022 Heisman Trophy is already heating up, with several players emerging as early frontrunners. Let’s break down the top contenders for college football’s most prestigious award.
Bryce Young, QB, Alabama
Young has already shown his potential as the starting quarterback for the Crimson Tide, putting up impressive numbers in his first season as a starter. With another year under his belt, he could be a strong contender for the Heisman Trophy.
C.J. Stroud, QB, Ohio State
Stroud has shown flashes of brilliance in his first season as the starter for the Buckeyes, leading one of the nation’s most high-powered offenses. If he can continue to improve and lead Ohio State to a successful season, he could be in the running for the Heisman Trophy.
DJ Uiagalelei, QB, Clemson
Uiagalelei has the talent and potential to be a Heisman Trophy contender, but he will need to step up and lead the Tigers’ offense to success after a disappointing season in 2021. If he can live up to his potential, he could be a dark horse candidate for the award.
Breece Hall, RB, Iowa State
Hall is one of the top running backs in college football and has put up impressive numbers in his first two seasons with the Cyclones. If he can put together another strong season and lead Iowa State to success, he could be a contender for the Heisman Trophy.
Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina
Rattler has transferred to South Carolina after a disappointing season with Oklahoma, but he still has the talent to be a Heisman Trophy contender. If he can turn things around and lead the Gamecocks to success, he could be in the running for college football’s top award.
As the season progresses, these players will continue to compete for the 2022 Heisman Trophy, with the winner being announced at the end of the college football season. Keep an eye on these contenders as they vie for the prestigious award.
