The most celebrated award in college football is, of course, the Heisman Trophy.
The Heisman Trophy is awarded annually to the best college football player in America. It is named after John W. Heisman, noted collegiate player and coach, and recognized as the inventor of the forward pass. The award is voted annually by hundreds of sports journalists around the country and past Heisman Trophy recipients. For more information, visit the official Heisman Trophy website.
With the 2020 season underway, here are several lists we found that address the handicapping of the 2020 Heisman race. It's no surprise that they show Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence to be the prohibitive favorite. But if the Big Ten gets back in the race, Ohio State QB Justin Fields becomes the top challenger.

*-Reggie Bush, Southern California, RB, won the award by a lopsided margin over Vince Young (QB, Texas) and Matt Leinart (QB, USC). However, in the wake of a 2010 NCAA ruling handed down five years later, Bush was ruled to have been ineligible as a player and the NCAA placed the USC program on 4 years of probation. Mr. Bush forfeited the 2005 Heisman Trophy on September 14, 2010. The Heisman Trust considers the 2005 award as "vacated".
