The Ohio State Buckeyes are favored to win the national championship again this season and running back Ezekiel Elliott will be a huge part of that potential title run.
As a result of Elliott’s importance to the Buckeyes, the folks in Las Vegas have dubbed him the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.
Elliott tops the list via Bovada that also included LSU Tigers running back Leonard Fournette, TCU Horned Frogs quarterback Trevone Boykin, Georgia Bulldogs running back Nick Chubb and Mississippi State Bulldogs quarterback Dak Prescott.
USC Trojans quarterback Cody Kessler and Ohio State’s Cardale Jones also made the cut.
