We're still one game away from crowning the national champion for the 2023 season and perhaps some NFL Draft announcements, but that hasn't stopped FanDuel Sportsbook from releasing some future odds for the 2024 Heisman Trophy.

- Carson Beck +750
- Dillon Gabriel +1000
- J.J. McCarthy +1800

- Jaxson Dart +2000
Atop the list for the Heisman is Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers. In his loss to the Washington Huskies in the semi-final of the College Football Playoff, he completed 24 of 43 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown. He's NFL draft-eligible, but we haven't heard from him one way or the other.
Below him are three players—Milroe, Beck, and Gabriel—that we know are returning to school. Milroe and Beck will be in Alabama and Georgia, respectively, while Gabriel will be transferred from Oklahoma to Oregon.
Next, at +1800, is McCarthy, who's also NFL Draft eligible, but he has a national title game to play. The chances of him going to the NFL are likely quite high.
After McCarthy, the names got exciting and were perhaps new to many college football fans.
- Iamaleava was a freshman this season. He filled in for Joe Milton III in their bowl game against Iowa. He completed 12 of 19 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown.
- Arnold will likely be the starter for Oklahoma next season, with Gabriel transferring. He had 69 attempts this season, completing 44 for 557 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions. He was a freshman.
- Weigman appears to be the next man up at Texas A&M under Mike Elko. A transfer is possible, but the pool is running thin. Weigman completed 82 of 121 pass attempts this season for 979 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions. He was the starter for the first four weeks before suffering a foot injury and missing the remainder of the season.
- Nussmeier was Jayden Daniels' backup at LSU. He started their bowl game against Wisconsin and completed 31 of 45 passes for 395 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.
- Dart was the starter at Ole Miss this past season and is a dual-threat. He had 3,363 passing yards, 23 touchdowns, five interceptions, 568 rushing yards and five interceptions.
Milroe will, of course, be the most intriguing name on this list of early 2024 Heisman odds. This past season, he was electric while running the ball. If he can clean up the passing game, he could be a devastating dual-threat option for one of the most nationally recognized programs in all of college football.
The 2024 college football season will be here before we know it.
