In order for any of these players to have a chance at the Heisman trophy, their teams must perform well. But each of the players listed is blessed with the ability to carry his team on his back, as well as rack up some crazy stats during the course of the year.
Most of these guys are players you have probably heard of before. I am just pointing out the fact that if their teams do well, don't be surprised if you see one or more of them in New York City as a top candidate for the Heisman.
Most of the teams they are playing for are built around them and are going into this year as sleeper teams within their respective conferences.
1. Jake Locker - 6'3", 225, QB, Washington (So.)
This guy is probably the closest thing to Tim Tebow in college right now. If he were playing for a team like Florida, he would already be in all the early season Heisman talk.
In his first year in college, he threw for 2,062 yards and 14 TDs, along with running for 986 yards and 13 TDs.
2. Zac Robinson - 6'3", 205, QB, Oklahoma St. (Jr.)
Oklahoma State is supposed to be one of the teams to watch for in the 2008-09 season. If they can find themselves near the top of the Big 12, it will be because of the play of Zac Robinson.
Last year he threw for 2,824 yards with 23 TDs and ran for 847 yards and 9 TDs.
3. Willie Tuitama - 6'3", 206, QB, Arizona (Sr.)
Arizona is another team people have their eyes on as a team that can make some upsets this year. In order for them to win against teams like USC, Oregon, Cal, and UCLA this year, Tuitama has to show great senior leadership.
Last year he threw for 3,683 and 28 TDs. He's not a dual-threat quarterback, but he is a great pocket passer. Last year Arizona was only 5-7, but they had the 10th-best passing attack in the nation.
4. Javon Ringer - 5'9", 200, RB, Michigan St. (Sr.)
Ringer means as much to Michigan State as Beanie Wells means to Ohio State. Without the production of Ringer, MSU has no shot at making a run at the Big Ten crown.
Ringer ran for 1,447 yards but only six TDs last year. I see his touchdown numbers going up dramatically this year.
If Michigan State was a well-known team, then Ringer would already be placed within the same early season discussions as running backs Beanie Wells and Knowshon Moreno.
5. Josh Freeman - 6'6", 250, QB, Kansas St. (Jr.)
This is a quarterback that showed a lot of maturation as a quarterback last year. He increased his completion percentage from 52 percent his freshman year to 63 percent this past season. He is a huge quarterback and reminds me a lot of Byron Leftwich when he was playing for Marshall.
Freeman threw for 3,353 yards and 18 TDs last year. After seeing how much he matured last year, I can see him having a really great season with numbers like 4,000 yards and 30 TDs.
If Kansas State can beat Kansas and Missouri this upcoming season, then you will see them representing the Big 12 North in the Big 12 championship. They can't do it without Freeman.
6. Nate Davis - 6'2", 217, QB, Ball State (Jr.)

A Heisman Trophy winner from Ball State? Sorry bro....but unless Ball State beefs up it's schedule with some big time BCS contenders it isn't going to happen. Heisman trophy winners come from big BCS schools, Ohio State, Florida, etc....to be considered for the Heisman, especially by all of the past winners and the press, you have to put up big numbers in big games against big name opponents. Nate may be a very talented back, but without the opponents for him to prove it against, it probably won't happen.

I like how you sound like your making a great point and then at the end change it up by saying "probably won't happen"... either way I agree it won't happen. But the MAC conference have had their share of guys being talked about for the Heisman award before.... Chad Pennington, Randy Moss, Byron Leftwich, Ben Roethlisberger...... he looks like the next great quarterback from the MAC conference....

I understand what your saying.....my fault...sorry for being an A$$. It just seems that the trend of H winners seem to be coming from the big BCS schools most of the time, and your right, that MAC players are considered and invited, but it seems like they only are invited to be P. C. Sure they put up sick stats, but are the numbers skewed a little bit b/c of the lack of quality opponents? What do you think?
-Another thought....The numbers in the next few years won't be skewed as much any more, in regarding the lack of quality opponents, b/c it seems that the gap between the cream of the crop, and nasties is closing b/c of upsets happening more often, and all of the non-bcs schools starting to make a name for themselves(Boise St. and Ian Johnson, Hawaii).

Adam Rothlisberger about 1 year ago
I agree about the numbers some MAC guys put up.... but then the whole argument can also be made for Texas Tech quarterbacks when the only thing Texas Tech does is pass the ball. And yes BCS schools are the only ones that get Heisman winners.
I also agree to an extent with your thought of numbers not being skewed as much anymore. The gap is closing but I dont think the gap will ever close completely.

They may not have the quality opponents as the big BCS schools... you could also turn that around and say that they're getting the big stats without the big name teammates. Nate Davis sure isn't throwing the ball to Percy Harvin/Andre Caldwell or Ted Ginn/Anthony Gonzalez

Good point, tech and their flag football offense! Missouri seems to be headed that way as well, they are not as bad as tech, but they are getting there. But Chase Daniel seems to be in a different league than Harrell.

Speaking of MAC quarterbacks, wouldn't you have to put Dan LeFevour in the mix for a sleeper. He is the closest thing to Tim Tebow in college football. Last year he had 3,600 yards through the air with 27 TD's (65% comp. % too) and over 1,100 yards on the ground with 19 TD's. CMU also schedules some higher quality BCS teams like Georgia and Purdue this year, Clemson and Kansas last year, BC and Michigan the year before that. Granted the team didn't fair very well against most of those teams but that was a lot to do with the defense. But as long as your mentioning Davis from BSU,I think LeFevour also deserves at least a mention.

Totally forgot about him man and in all honesty didn't know he put up stats so great last year.. thanks for letting me know about that.. wish I could have put him on the list because if Davis is on there he should be too. I still wouldn't put his skill levels up there with Tebow though because he plays dominates MAC players.... imagine what Tebow would do playing MAC teams.... it would be something out of this world. Jake Locker is the closest thing to Tebow right now in college.

Enough for one of his players to win the Heisman? That's a joke. If Willis puts up better numbers than every QB in the country, Willis will not win the Heisman. A.) SMU wins a max 5 games this year (if they're extremely lucky). B.) You can't assume a coach is going to change everything (Ron English is still going to have trouble with that Louisville defense). C.) Willis can't possibly put up Heisman numbers, so why talk about him?

Prediction: Josh Freeman will lead the Wildcats to a huge bowl game this season and get the trip to NYC. I have seen that guy on tv and he looks like he is going to dominate in his junior year. He is a beast of a quarterback. I know they lost Nelson but i know they have that Murphy back. Freeman will have a huge year for Kstate.

Because Zac Robinson is not the best quarterback in the Big 12, let alone the country. Although, Zac is a good quarterback, Chase Daniel, Sam Bradford, Graham Harrell and Colt McCoy are all as good or better than Zac.

I guess the reason I'd label him as a sleeper is because nobody would have any idea who he is if it wasn't for his coach going off in that post game interview, except for Big 12 fans. And on top of that I didn't even know he had as good of a season as he actually had until I looked him up.

Locker is a great runner, but please set aside the hype machine until the guy learns how to throw, which is somewhat important for a quarterback. You mentioned his 14 touchdowns throwing, but why omit the 15 interceptions and 47 percent completion percentage?
Edit Comment Cancel
Adam Rothlisberger about 1 year ago
He was a freshman... playing on a terrible team and playing against teams like Ohio State, USC, Arizona State, Oregon, and Cal.... I'd say for a freshman on a team like Washington, he had a pretty great year. Plus running for nearly 1000 yards and 13 Td's on top of his 14 passing makes up for a lot as well. He is a work horse and and will be a great throwing quarterback before his college career is said and done.

Zac is a great running QB, just refer to last years Insight Bowl. But if you believe hes the 4th or 5th best QB in the conference hes not much of a sleeper since he cant contend.
Edit Comment Cancel
Paul Germer about 1 year ago
Some of those guys are sleepers and some not. The problem that most of them face is that they play on teams that arent traditional winners and dont get media hype. Locker will be a great QB eventually but UW has a toooough schedule this year and wins will be hard to come by. The Heisman doesnt go to a 6-6 team. I see lots of 6-6 or worse teams listed here. If someone is going to be a SR and they arent nationally known by now its too late for their Heisman hopes. Willie T and Arizona will be thrilled with just making it to a bowl for the first time this century. A QB that hasnt led his team to at least a bowl in his first three years isnt going to get the Heisman. I have seen a lot of QBs put up a lot of yards cause they were so far behind and they were throwing every down against a prevent defense.
Edit Comment Cancel
Adam Rothlisberger about 1 year ago
I see what your saying but at the same time that's dumb to say... the Heisman is an award that goes to someone who has had the best season not career. Your saying that if all of a sudden this year Arizona shocks everyone and wins 10 or 11 games and Tuitama throws for 4,000 yards and 30 Td's that he doesnt deserve Heisman consideration because his team was bad the year before.... and no I am not saying that will happen... but that is an example to show you what you were just saying. But yes the team has to be a winner...

Ringer has the talent, but he's not durable enough. He's sure to get banged up and have underclassmen come in and take carries. They should do well enough with those carries that Dantonio trusts them and limits Ringers touches for the sake of having Ringer when it matters.

-Okay, before some collegiate hot head gets his feelings hurt; I'll correct myself-not ALL Heisman winners, but ALOT of them-so you don't need to run through the histories list(I already know it). I don't mind a deep rooted rivalry, but aside from that Collegiate sports suck. They, in whatever sport, are a bunch of no-names that run around like a chicken w/ its head cut off- just trying and hoping to get noticed by some PRO scout somewhere. More than half of these people do NOT go on to the PROS, why? Because they aren't good enough-which also means that most all of the athletes playing on a collegiate team-even the good ones, aren't even as good as the guy in the Pros sitting on the bench. I'd rather watch proven talent-talent that is actually REAL, being put on display against others with REAL talent. Not a bunch of kids sloppily playing against other sloppy no talent kids. It's kinda like watching LeBron play when he was in highschool against others who shouldn't have even been on the floor. I like to see the athletes who have the PRIVELAGE to play, not the RIGHT to play just because you attend school there. Another example: When in football you have scores reaching the 60's and sometimes 70's. What is that garbage? Oh yeah, its GARBAGE. That's MY opinion, which the last time I checked, was alright to have in America. Sorry-nothin' against the article, just against over-rated college hoopla!!

That it interesting that you sau all that... and I can't argue with you. I know a lot of people that don't like college sports and that's cool... but there are quit a few people who do enjoy college sports.. more so than the pros. The atmosphere in college football and basketball is far better than any pro game atmosphere... Players aren't as good as NFL players while they are in college.... but in case you never noticed... these "sloppy no talent players" as you call them are the same players that go on to play in the NFL.
As for the Lebron comment just to make that sound like a dumb thing to say... I saw him lose his junior year in the state championship game.. he was outplayed and DUNKED ON by a 6'5 guy who ended up playing for my hometown college which is division 2.
Lastly being a college athlete is a privelage... not a right. That comment made absolutely no sense. At the college level if there were someone like Pacman running around getting arrested 7 times he would be gone and never given the chance to play again. At the NFL level they let you get away with something... at the college level if you don't have the grades then you are kicked off the team... so how is playing college football more a right for players than a privellage?... anyways thanks for the comments.

-yeah and MOST (not all) of them, if they even MAKE the team, you never even hear their name mentioned and they are gone before you know it. with an average of 2-3 yrs. for a career. if even that, which was my point. college kids can be good to get on a team, but if you don't develope-you're gone. sad but true-facts are facts. i was just making a statement as in average and whole.
-YOUR LeBron comment doesn't make any sense; again statement was meant as in a whole for the objective comparison, that mostly the other kids looked stupid in comparison to him....you just didn't and don't understand obviously.
-and NO it is NOT a privellage to be a college athlete, you can go to any school that will accept you academicly -and you can play any sport you want -for the school. sounds like a right to me. apparently you didn't understand too much about what i wrote, you're the one who didn't make much sense. you're comparing apples to oranges w/ your Pacman comment-that's because in a Pro league you're under a contract-kinda' like for a company. you don't think an organization would like to let someone like Pacman go the 1st time, they can't its in a companies/organizations stipulations-be upset w/ the Players Unions and what-not, then. you are not under a contract in college-it is a school, yeah they can kick you out, but with that type of behavior; athlete or not you'd be gone. your point you THOUGHT made sense to you, in fact doesn't make sense at all. which is why i started my second entry the way i did, about a hot- head getting their feelings hurt. it didn't work though, 'cuz YOU were the type i was exactly talking about. do YOU understand now? probably not.

Actually I wasn't being a hot head at all man... your looking for an argument about it and all i did was voice my opinions on top of yours... remember I started my argument out by saying "I can't argue with you." and then said " I know a lot of people that don't like college sports and that's cool. Your entitled to your opinions man.
The one thing you can't deny is that the atmosphere at college games are better than any pro games..
And again your stating that your making your statement as an average and whole.... but your still missing the point that every player in the pros at one point played in college. Ya some sit the bench... but every player on the team was at one time in college where you call them "sloppy no talent kids." You really have no argument there... NFL players don't come from over seas like MLB or NBA players... so maybe your going by the average of players that don't make a team or sit the bench... I'm just going by the fact that 100% of the starters and 100% of the league played in college at one point rather they just be role players of bench warmers.
My Lebron comment was just showing that there is great talent out there at every level. But you also say that there is no proven talent in college which makes no sense man...
As for a full ride scholarship being what you call a "right" and not a priviledge... dude i don't really know what your talking about. If it were a "right" then I would be playing some D-1 football somewhere you know... the thing that makes it a priviledge is the fact that your only allowed to play if you have a certain GPA and stay out of trouble... people fail to remember that during the season all these kids are still going to class everyday working their ass off to keep up their grades while at the same time lifting and practicing everyday for football. If it were not a priviledge then colleges wouldn't be kicking guys out of school for bad grades and behavior problems. It is a priviledge because if you mess up one time you can be done for good.. in the NFL you get chance after chance after chance to show you can do the right things.

i'm not ripping you for your article, it wasn't bad and obviously you did your homework. i guess my whole problem is that this classifies as another one of my least favorite, and pointless debates/conversations. let me give you a pretty plain example, but an example none the less; here's the senario-the last of the NFL playoffs have just ended and for the next two weeks we'll be spending most of most of every waking hour talking about: (you see i listen to alot (ALOT) of satellite radio) -THE SUPERBOWL and what will happen IF this team does "this", but not "that". AND this player plays like "this", but IF his 'that' bothers him, he MIGHT be like- the other way he can be, so... it's just ALL stupid jibber that doesn't amount to anything because its all BS no one can predict and wouldn't have anyway of knowing. it's all a dumb debate that proves nothing... sort of like coverage of a draft, for whatever sport. "well if this kid goes here and does this, then he MIGHT be like "that" player BUT..." you see? why discuss stuff no one knows sh** about! it does nothing but spark argument and debate, that quite honestly anyone standing back at the situation, would see is- ridiculous! kind of like my idiot friends arguing with me BEFORE the NFL season started; about how Ben Rothles-hotdog was going to be the league MVP and the steelers were going to win the SUPERBOWL...those are the idiots and people like them, that i've been calling on, in this and in my other comments when i refer to, as the "every teams got 'em" a**hole idiot fan- AND a couple of them are even MY good friends. you see, everyones missing the point i've been making. people need to stop being that way ...to stop, and think about- not being hot-heads with a biased opinion. then maybe, just maybe there might be some light at the end of the tunnel. everyone is entitled to their own opinion, if it makes sense...but it's pointless to debate over "what if's" and 'could be's".

I know these are that weak of conferences but look wut colt did and he couldnt get the heismen. And I love colt because im a uga fan and he made the sugar bowl an excellent game to watch.

I like the inclusion of Javon Ringer. It is always nice to see people noticing Big Ten players.

Those people listed have zero chance of winning the Heisman in 2008.
Sheer Fantasy!

Yeah, Josh Freeman? Why would the Heisman come from the worst team in the Big XII North (behind Iowa State)?

These sleepers don't even have a chance. Most of them won't even be on winning teams this season. These seven are absolutely terrible "sleepers". These guys are not even close to being candidates or dark horses.
How about T.J. Yates from UNC? He actually has a shot at getting a nomination, and his team will at least make a decent bowl this year.
