Bryce Young, QB, Alabama Crimson Tide (Heisman 2021)

The current Heisman winner, has accumulated the records for touchdowns and yards thrown in a season, surpassing Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones respectively, with 47 touchdowns and 4,872,000 yards.

Young has the opportunity to match Archie Griffin, Ohio State’s legendary runningback and only two-time Heisman Trophy winner, but in equal measure is the mounting pressure above the team’s performance and contention potential on the national stage, it’s a big mistake. betting against Nick Saban and the University of Alabama, but with losses like Evan Neal, Jameson Williams, John Metchie and Brian Robinson Jr. for the draft, there are several unknowns above Tooscaloosa and consequently BAMA.

We should expect a season with less big plays, more pressure coming from the blind side of the line, but this is where the two sides of the same coin appear, a less competitive team will generate the greatest opportunity to stand out and consequently a greater test of the limits and capabilities of the youngster. pitcher, a good performance had projected Young as a strong name beyond Heisman, the top positions of the 2023 Draft.

CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State Buckeyes (4º em 2021)

Ohio State sees hitting the post to win the National, pressure that only increases with Michigan being more and more competitive, also losing important pieces for the Draft, Stroud found situation a little better than Young, with an established run game and a solid offensive line for his protection, he also found in the group of receivers a personal “rival” in the dispute for the prize.

Stroud is the traditional pocket pitcher, with an incredible arm and above-average strength, he is already certain to be one of the main prospects of the position for the next class.

Despite the favoritism of the previous one, it arrives with a clear advantage due to the strength of its own team, but such support comes at a price, the obligation to win the 12 games of the regular season, which starts on September 3 against Notre Dame, at home.

Will Anderson, EDGE, Alabama Crimson Tide (5º em 2021)

The Spring Game of 2022, completely describes the main edge of the class of 2022, Saban had to take him off the playground due to the repeated times he spoiled the game of attack.

“The Terminator” as it’s been nicknamed is a pressure machine that only seems to get better, from 7 sacks like Freshman and 52 tackles it has gone to 101 tackles and 17.5 sacks in 21 if there is anyone in College Football close to being named the second player. defensive to take Heisman (Charles Woodson in 1997, even beating Peyton Manning), is Will Anderson.

Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas Longhorn

An unstoppable machine, by far the best playmaker in the next class, despite the argument over a running back in the first round, Robinson’s value is arguably high.

Receiving or running, having the ball has become a recurring thing in Longhorns games, one of the few non-QBs competitors, has the “easiest” aisle to get there, BIG12’s defenses, including on the agenda, go write it down, September 10th , Texas Longhorns vs Alabama Crimson Tide, will have 4 out of 8 candidates on the field.

Caleb Williams, QB, USC Trojans (transferido Oklahoma Sooners)

Lincoln Riley moved and took half offense with him, Caleb is the prototype of a modern quarterback, throwing well, moving well, has as a differential, the MONSTRUUS ABILITY TO IMPROVISATEstretching plays like few in American football can do, is the main candidate to surprise everything and everyone, think with me, making USC return to the fight on the national stage is the springboard to make Caleb not only the winner of the Heisman (it would be one more for Riley and Oklahoma), how to cast it in the 1st overall (it would be one more for Riley and Oklahoma).

Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas Lognhorns (transferido Ohio State Buckeyes)

How can a candidate who has not even entered the field? the justification for this is the strong expectations, the same reasons for him to get one of the biggest NIL (image use agreements, now allowed in College Football), worth R$ 1.4 million dollars.

Big Hype above Ewers is well deserved, rated 5 stars or 1,0000 (maximum grade), on most sites and types of recruitment wanted by almost all programs, native of Southlake, Texas, was tipped to sign with the university Austin local, but preferred to take longer paths in the state of Ohio, there finding strong competition and the success of Stroud, he chose to enter the portal, where Texas welcomed him with open arms.

Spencer Rattler, QB, South Carolina Gamecocks (transferido de Oklahoma Sooners)

Never managing to deliver what was expected, Caleb won the dispute and made Rattler follow the idea of ​​the others and leave Oklahoma, now at the Gamecocks university of the SEC, see the opportunity to face some of the best defenses of College Football, Arkansas and Georgia on the 10th and September 17th, but what can end with a flourish are the last 3 clashes, Florida on November 12th, Tennessee at home on November 19th and 26th at Clemson University.

It is worth noting that Clemson is indeed in the fight for a spot in the playoffs, now imagine the goodbye coming home on account of Spencer Rattler! It is obvious that a season of consistency is required for the fray, but the opportunity to demonstrate his talent will be given in 2022.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State Buckeyes

The 3rd non-QB in contention is my favorite on the list, he racked up 95 receptions during the season for 1,606 yards plus 9 touchdowns, today can be considered the top receiver in the class due to the thought that what was thrown his way , became reception.

With fantastic receptions, outstanding athleticism and adjustments, he won’t have to share attempts (with Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson), but on the other hand, he won’t have the duo to split attention (keep an eye on Julian Fleming), the result of that it could be inflated numbers and the Heisman (or co-payment with CJ).
