Arch Manning has the chance to become the face of college football in 2025, and the betting market believes he will deliver the goods.
Manning, the son of Cooper and nephew to Peyton and Eli, is the betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.
The rising sophomore for Texas is +600 to win the award, putting him ahead of LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier (+800), Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith (10/1), Clemson’s Cade Klubnik (11/1), and Penn State’s Drew Allar (14/1).
Manning was the deputy behind Quinn Ewers for the Longhorns in 2024, but he still managed to impress in limited duty, throwing for 939 yards with 10 touchdowns and two interceptions to go along with a 67.8 completion percentage.
Texas is the favorite to win the SEC and is the second favorite behind Ohio State to win the National Championship this season.
Nussmeier was one of the favorites to win the Heisman in 2024, but didn’t crack the top 10 in the voting at the season’s end.
Smith, a wide receiver, is the only non-quarterback listed under 35/1.

A couple of prices to keep an eye on over the summer will be Florida’s DJ Lagway (18/1), South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers (18/1), and SMU’s Kevin Jennings (50/1).
All three quarterbacks had breakout campaigns in 2024, and will certainly be mentioned when folks start picking out their dark horses.
Of the non-quarterbacks that could get plenty of betting support, Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love (50/1) stands out.
Travis Hunter won the 2024 Heisman as a 50/1 long shot.
