Heisman Trophy candidate predictions

As the college football season comes down to its final weeks, the likely finalists for the Heisman Trophy have emerged. Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty has been at the forefront of the Heisman race for most of the season as Jeanty has had a record-breaking season for the Broncos.

Jeanty isn’t without competition, though, as Colorado Receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter has electrified college football fans all season long. Hunter’s ability to perform at such a high level on both sides of the ball is an athletic feat few have ever accomplished in college football.
