Arizona Wildcats quarterback Khalil Tate had a lot of hype surrounding as the college football season began a year ago with one site even writing about how he was the national's top quarterback and why he would win the Heisman.

The hype is returning for the QB in 2019.

The Associated Press recently named Tate a dark horse contender for the Heisman Trophy this season.

It wrote: "Tate rushed for 1,411 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2017, including two games of 230 yards or more. Last season, he had only 224 yards and two scores on the ground as he dealt with a myriad of injuries, including a sprained ankle suffered in the second game that hampered him for the rest of the year.
