The preseason Heisman race has a new, definitive front-runner, according to one of college football's most respected prognosticators.
Longtime expert Phil Steele has officially planted his flag, telling Colin Cowherd this week on The Herd that he's picking Clemson senior quarterback Cade Klubnik to take home the iconic trophy.
"I picked him to win the Heisman," Steele stated. "I think Klubnik leads the nation in passing, leads a 12-0 team, and I believe he’s going to take home the Heisman this year.”
The Perfect Storm for a Heisman Run
Steele's prediction isn't just based on Klubnik's talent; it's based on the elite supporting cast around him, which he believes is the best in the nation.
