CBS Sports analyst Dennis Dodd released his post-Week 11 rankings for the Heisman Trophy, the most prestigious award in college football.
According to Dodd, 2 B1G players are within the top 5 for the award: Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud and Michigan RB Blake Corum. Dodd had Stroud at No. 1 and Corum at No. 5.
Here are Dodd’s remaining picks.
Week 11 Heisman Hype
1. CJ Stroud, Ohio St
2. Hendon Hooker, Tenn
3. Caleb Williams, USC
4. Michael Penix, Jr., Wash
5. Blake Corum, Mich— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) November 14, 2022
Of course, all of Dodd’s inclusions other than Corum are running backs. It’s seemed to be a tight race between Stroud and Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker for most of the year, with neither seeming to have a notable lead through Week 11.
It’s not hard to see why Dodd has Stroud first, though. The Ohio State QB has thrown for 2,750 yards, 34 touchdowns and 4 interceptions this season through 11 games.
Corum is starting to put his name into contention, too. The star Michigan RB has 1,349 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns.
