Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith took home the Heisman Trophy on Tuesday night, becoming the first wide receiver to win the award since Desmond Howard did so in 1991.

And with the award for this season already announced, odds for the 2021 Heisman Trophy were already out and ready to roll.

Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler is the early favorite according to MyBookie odds, coming in at +450. Sam Howell of North Carolina is just behind him at +550.

Georgia is represented high up on the list of odds, as quarterback JT Daniels comes in at +800. He has the best odds of any SEC candidate, ahead of the likes of Florida quarterback Emory Jones and Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. Those two quarterbacks, who have yet to start a game, both sit at +1200.
