Check out the unofficial home of Noel Devine’s Heisman campaign.

Josh Nesbitt of Georgia Tech has thrown his helmet into the Heisman ring.  His website may go down as one of the more inspired Heisman campaigns in quite a while.

August is upon us, camp is right around the corner and the games are a month away, which means it’s time for my annual preseason list of the players with the best chance of actually winning the Heisman. This is not–repeat, not!–how I think the vote will fall.  The players listed here are the ones [...]

These darkhorses play for programs that possess the ability to produce Heisman candidates, but it would take especially strong statistical years for them to be seen as contenders.  It’s an unlikely scenario for most of them for one reason or another, but if any of them happen to do so–look out.   1.

His college career is only at the halfway point and it is impressive: 34 touchdowns scored, a remarkable 107 receptions, plus 2,693 rushing yards.  Needless to say, the 5-7, 193-pounder from Richmond, Texas, is on [...]

Here’s the scenario: A quarterback with the initials C.P. almost single-handedly leads a struggling, wayward, traditional power back onto the national scene.  Meanwhile, said quarterback finally fills his considerable potential as a senior after overcoming a shoulder injury and coaching changes.  An inconsistent career filled with flashes of brilliance culminates in a dominant, Heisman Trophy-winning [...]

Here is my early, early Heisman Watch list for 2010 (again, it’s my list of guys who have the best chance to actually win, not a list of how they will finish in the voting).  Some of these players are true darkhorses who nonetheless project well in the race due to who they play for and their career trajectory.  We’ll [...]
