Early odds give LSU running back Derrius Guice 15-to-1 shot at Heisman Trophy

Derrius Guice ended the 2016 season as the SEC's leading rusher with 1,387 yards.

For that, the LSU running back will go through the offseason on the short list of players expected to contend in 2017 for the Heisman Trophy.

In an early odds list posted Monday by Bovada, Guice holds 15-to-1 odds at winning the award.

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield tops the list at 11-to-2, making him the first of 11 players listed ahead of Guice.

The only SEC player ahead of Guice on the list is Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts (12/1).

Other SEC players were Alabama running back Bo Scarbrough (15/1), Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald (22/1), Georgia running back Nick Chubb (25/1) and Auburn running back Kamryn Pettway (25/1).
