2025 Heisman Trophy Odds: Three QBs Top the Early Oddsboard

The 2025 college football season will be here before we know it. 

With kickoff just two months away, sportsbooks are looking ahead to the 2025 Heisman Trophy. 

Arch Manning is emerging as the early favorite to win the award, but what other names should bettors be eyeing? 

Let’s get into the early odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 20.

2025 Heisman Trophy odds:

Arch Manning, Texas: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)

Garrett Nussmeier, LSU: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)

Cade Klubnik, Clemson: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)

Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)

Julian Sayin, Ohio State: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)

Drew Allar, Penn State: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total)

LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)

DJ Lagway, Florida: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)

Dante Moore, Oregon: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)

Carson Beck, Miami:+2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)

Out of the top 10 players on the Heisman oddsboard, nine of them are quarterbacks, probably because over the last decade, seven 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 +700. While the Texas standout has started just twice, 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.”

In 12 games as a Longhorn, Manning completed 63 passes for 969 yards and nine touchdowns. He also found success on the ground, compiling 108 yards and four touchdowns last season on 25 rushes.

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 +900, Nussmeier sits slightly above Clemson QB Cade Klubnik at +1000.

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.
