According to one online oddsmaker, D’Andre Swift (and Jake Fromm) has 12/1 odds of winning the Heisman Trophy this December. The reigning rushing leader of Georgia football’s 2019 offense certainly has the talent and skill to win the Heisman, as well as other awards, but as we’ve seen lately, it takes more than that to win the Heisman, especially as a running back.
The last running back to win a Heisman was Alabama’s Derrick Henry in 2015. That year, he rushed for 2,219 yards, which is more than twice what Swift rushed for last season.
