The 2024 Heisman Trophy race is tightening as the ceremony approaches on December 14. Colorado's Travis Hunter leads the odds at -1000, followed by Boise State's Ashton Jeanty at +750. Other contenders include Miami's Cameron Ward and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel. Hunter has excelled as a two-way player, contributing significantly to Colorado's 8-3 record. Jeanty has set a school rushing record and is key to Boise State's 10-1 season. Both players have emerged as frontrunners, shifting focus from earlier favorites. The finalists for the Heisman Trophy will be announced on December 9. The award has typically favored quarterbacks, but Hunter's performance may mark a change, as a non-quarterback has not won since 2020.
