At the top of the chart is Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler. Rattler is in his second season with the Sooners and saw play action in 2019 and 2020. The redshirt freshman has gained attention this year leading Oklahoma to a 9-2 overall record and going 214-for-317 completion/attempts with a 67.5% completion percentage and 3,031 yards. 

In second place is Clemons' D.J. Uiagalelei who served as a backup to 2020 Heisman candidate Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence announced on January 6th, that he would enter the NFL Draft thus Uiagalelei is the next man up.

Let's jump down to spot No.6 on BetOnline's odds and No.7 on SportsLine's odds. USC quarterback Kedon Slovis has graced the Heisman Trophy watch list for the 2021 year. Slovis burst onto the scene as a freshman after former USC QB JT Daniels went down with an ACL tear.
