Heisman Trophy 2024 odds: Alabama's Jalen Milroe opens as co-favorite
Jalen Milroe's first year starting for Alabama football didn't end quite how he wanted, but the Crimson Tide quarterback's steady progression throughout the 2023 college football season has made a mark, regardless.
Look no further than FanDuel, which on Thursday released its 2024 Heisman Trophy odds. While it's way too early to accurately determine who could win college football's most prestigious award, it's telling that Milroe, at +750 odds, is among the early favorites to win the award.
The Crimson Tide signal-caller overcame a two-turnover game vs. Texas in Week 2 — and a Week 3 benching vs. South Florida — to become the driving force for Alabama's offense under first-year offensive coordinator Tommy Rees. He finished the season completing 187 of 284 passes (65.8%) for 2,834 passing yards and 23 touchdowns, adding 531 rushing yards and 12 more scores.
Milroe wasn't alone at the top of the Heisman Trophy odds, though. Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was tied with his Alabama counterpart, with Georgia's Carson Beck second at +850 odds (though the line has since shifted to make it a three-way tie at the top).
