Spring college football practices are about to kick off, and Heisman Trophy odds are already pinpointing Arch Manning as the Heisman Trophy favorite.
ESPN BET oddsmakers are making Texas’ star quarterback a +700 favorite to win the award, followed by LSU signal caller Garrett Nussmeier (+800).
Texas previously had Quinn Ewers as its quarterback in 2024, but the Longhorns fell short in the playoffs as they were eliminated by the eventual champion Ohio State Buckeyes.
Ewers was the preseason favorite (+800) to win the Heisman Trophy last season.
Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik comes in at +1200, while star Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith also owns +1200 odds, the highest preseason odds for any non-quarterback.
The last pure receiver to win the Heisman was DeVonta Smith in 2020, while Travis Hunter won in 2024 after playing both ways for the Colorado Buffaloes.

Despite losing some pieces on offense, Manning should have plenty to work with on this Texas team as the Longhorns will reload as they usually do.
Running back Jaydon Blue should be replaced by CJ Baxter, among several changes Texas will have to make.
Texas, which has a massive stash of NIL resources, had the No. 1 recruiting class for the incoming 2025 year, according to 247 Sports.

The Longhorns were not very active in the transfer portal, but did bring in some talent on the defensive side of the ball.
Texas has a tougher schedule this upcoming season than last year, opening with a road game against the defending national champions while also visiting Florida and Georgia.
Manning will attempt to be the first member of his family’s illustrious quarterback tree — featuring grandfather, Archie, and uncles Eli and Peyton — to win a Heisman trophy.
