Since the 2018-19 season finishes, we can quickly turn our attention to the 2019-20 year and have a look at Heisman Trophy chances. Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence got the best of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship Game and because of this, he’s a +300 preferred to win against the 2019 Heisman Trophy with Tagovailoa directly behind at +350.
BetOnline has Lawrence in +300 followed closely by Tagovailoa in +350, Georgia QB Jake Fromm at +850, Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor at +900 and Georgia RB D’Andre Swift and Clemson RB Travis Etienne at +950 to round out the top contenders on the oddsboard.
Can Tagovailoa get over the hump in 2019?
Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had a monster season in his first season as the starter, leading to him being the runner-up at the 2018 Heisman Trophy voting. As for me, I thought Tagovailoa must have won the award as he put up very impressive numbers and just played one fourth quarter annually, excluding the College Football Playoff.
The Hawaii native headed a Crimson Tide crime that was third-best in the nation at 45.6 points per match and included the sixth-best pass attack with 323.6 passing yards per game. Overall, Tagovailoa threw for 3,966 yards to rank in college football while incorporating 43 touchdown passes, the second-most, against only six interceptions. Start looking for the junior to have a step ahead in what could be his final year before he performs on Sundays, and when he can get another gear, +350 is a complete steal.
Lawrence has reason to be the favorite
Going into Week 5 of this 2018-19 school football season, I said that futures bettors should keep an eye on Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence to get a potential Heisman winner but not becoming the starter for the first four months buried his opportunities and I was potentially off a year. Lawrence knocked off older QB Kelly Bryant in his true freshman season and that decision by Dabo Swinney was the correct one as the Georgia native carried the Tigers to a national championship.
Clemson averaged 44.3 points per game this season, but that rose to 47.44 ppg from the nine matches which Lawrence was the starting QB, excluding playoffs. On the year, he tossed 3,280 yards (ranked 21st) with 30 TDs (10th) and just four interceptions and, once more, he didn’t become the starter before Week 5. What would his figures have been had he been at the helm all year old? Coming off an impressive national championship game and with another year to grow and grow, Lawrence is definitely worthy enough to be the first favorite for the Heisman.
