Heisman Darkhorse in 2009?

[ShowtimeSpicer]

We saw it out of Chase Daniel and Todd Reesing in 2007, and Javon Ringer this season. Who can we expect to creep into Heisman contention in 2009? Obviously it needs to be unexpected, so Tim Tebow or Sam Bradford wouldn't be a valid response.

I've compiled a list of candidates, see what you think:

- Russell Wilson (NC State)
- Jake Locker (Washington)
- Robert Griffin (Baylor)
- DeAndre Brown (Southern Miss)
- Colin Kaepernick (Nevada)

None will happen, not from good enough teams.


Good luck to anyone not named McCoy, Bradford, or Tebow competing for the Heisman.

The Tebow will run away with the annual Heisman Trophy Presented by Tim Tebow Award Show Award.

No other player has a chance to prepare make their time.

I wouldnt say that considering the other finalists from last year all returned this year to good teams.

I would say Juice Williams (yeah homer pick) has a chance if he lowers his turnovers and Illinois actually wins this year. But I really dont see anyone besides Colt, Sam, and Tim winning.

Another thought is Jahved (spelling?) Best

It's Jahvid Best. If he plays good next year hes got a good shot. It's just that people focus their entire defense on him now, like in the bowl game.

That's very possible. I forgot all about Dez. With guys like Quan Cosby, Nate Swift, Michael Crabtree, Juquian (sp?) Iglesias, etc. gone from the Big XII, it could be Dezmon's time to shine.

I could see this one too. Florida State's offensive line is much matured, and Ponder is a solid quarterback overall.
