Marcus Mariota
This Saturday, Mariota will have to show everyone why he is #1 in the Heisman voting. Oregon’s quarterback will be up against #12 UCLA. Mariota has thrown for 2,000 yards and 19 touchdowns.
The Oregon Ducks have never had someone win the Heisman trophy. Mariota could be their first!

Jameis Winston
ESPN reports that Marcus Mariota, quarterback from Oregon, is in first, but young QB Jameis Winston from Florida State is close behind. He has a lot to prove, and he has shown everyone that he belongs in the NCAA. According to College Football Talk, the biggest game of the year for him was against the #9 ranked (#3 at the time) Clemson Tigers. It was a big game that Clemson was expected to win, but Florida State proved them wrong. It wasn’t even close, as the Seminoles beat Clemson 51-14. Winston was great, throwing for 444 yards and three touchdowns, and really made a Heisman stand at Death Valley. He also has 2,177 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, and a 207.0 QBR (Quarterback Rating). His Florida State Seminoles are undefeated and ranked second in the nation. Can Jameis Winston lead FSU to their third national championship? We can only watch and see what happens!

Ka'Deem Carey
A Junior tailback for Arizona University, Ka’Deem Carey tears up defenses just as easily as a young Adrian Peterson. Peterson suffered a devastating injury while in college, limiting his carries. Their statistics from their freshman to junior seasons are as follows:
