Ohio State well represented in way-too-early 2023 Heisman odds

The Heisman Trophy is arguably the most coveted individual award in all of American sports,

and the Ohio State football program has been achingly close to winning the bronze statue over the last few years.

Dwayne Haskins was a finalist in 2018, then Justin Fields and Chase Young in 2019,

[{"selector":"#anim-1a35aa31-97d0-4b9a-9758-4a2abed94ad7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

and of course, C.J. Stroud in 2021 and 2022.

[{"selector":"#anim-ec5ada09-7307-458a-bb68-c16f0f18379c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

And while that’s about as good of a run as you can have,

[{"selector":"#anim-4480a9d9-12a9-4356-a57d-2eb96644d922","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

the Buckeyes have yet to add another Heisman to the trophy case as a result of those years.

[{"selector":"#anim-72ebf52e-a02c-4286-9a3e-f6666f4ed00a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

But with the explosive offenses the Buckeyes have had under Ryan Day,

[{"selector":"#anim-ff2dd0b6-0a1c-4148-9d5d-7ec55ea3556a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

it might only be a matter of time before there’s another scarlet and gray shine to the Heisman.

[{"selector":"#anim-d3946f72-d37b-4ccc-8585-d9b62c460763","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

In fact, as we look at the early odds from our friends at Tipico Sportsbook for 2023,

[{"selector":"#anim-1bb42250-0461-4325-9844-060a4fc3c56b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Ohio State is well-represented once again. Three players are included among the top 20 odds in the very early lines released by Tipico.

[{"selector":"#anim-51a95599-7272-4eff-935c-e70696c2012e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":250,"duration":1500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Of course, these will change as we get closer to the season ,

and as things progress through a very unpredictable arc the sport can have, so we’ll revisit it often.
