Published:
Quarterbacks are dominating ESPN’s Heisman Watch after four weeks.
Tuesday, ESPN updated its Heisman Watch List, highlighting the top three candidates heading into Week 5. All three are quarterbacks.
Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa was at the top of the list, followed by Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins. West Virginia’s Will Grier rounded out the top three.

This marks the first time that Haskins has made ESPN’s top three on the Heisman Watch List.
The Ohio State quarterback will have a chance to prove his worth this weekend in Happy Valley, as the Buckeyes battle Penn State.
Earlier Tuesday, ESPN college football analyst gushed over Tagovailoa and Haskins. He had nothing but positive things to say about both quarterbacks. So it’s fitting that the two are atop the Heisman list at this point in the season.
Could a win over the Nittany Lions boost Haskins over Tagovailoa?
