    A B1G Heisman in 2025?

    6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn Big Ten Football: 5 stars capable of snapping Heisman Trophy drought

    SATURDAYTRADITION.COM
    There are a lot of Heisman hopefuls from the Big Ten in 2025, but 5 stick out and have a chance to be the league's first winner since 2006.

     

    Smith and Allar are reasonable considerations. But Nico, Raiola, and Downs without reps on O or with stellar KO and or punt returns, No Way. 

     

    PSU RB's Singleton and Allen, both went 100+ yards vs OBD in the B1G champ game, are better candidates. 

     

    Dante Moore has a better shot than Nico playing for UCLA and Riola playing for Nebraska. 

     

    Other than that ...
