OU football: Sooners QB Spencer Rattler projected to win 2021 Heisman Trophy

After a solid freshman campaign, OU quarterback Spencer Rattler is projected to win the 2021 Heisman Trophy at 7/1 odds, according to SportsBettingDime.com.

Quarterbacks have won the award in nine of the past 11 years, and it's projected to see a return to that pattern next year with Rattler.

In his first year as the Sooners' starter, Rattler posted 3,031 passing yards and 28 passing touchdowns with just seven interceptions. He also tacked on six rushing touchdowns.

Rattler already has a leg up on his top competition, as no other projected top-four finisher has started more than four games at their respective schools.
