Tua Tagovailoa’s late season injuries may have cost him the Heisman Trophy in 2018, but the Alabama quarterback will be back to lead the Crimson Tide for at least one more year, this time without super-backup Jalen Hurts on the sideline.
Hurts’ decision to transfer to Oklahoma and play for coach Lincoln Riley has made him a leading Heisman favorite ahead of the 2019 season – but everyone is chasing favorite Trevor Lawrence, who just led the Clemson Tigers to a national championship as a true freshman.
Here are the current Heisman odds, listed from the longshots to the favorites. All odds via PointsBet.
