Where do Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin rank among Heisman contenders?
With plenty of season left, here's where the Ohio State duo ranks in the Heisman Trophy contenders list.
Ohio State's wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and quarterback Julian Sayin are among the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy this season. Smith broke the school record for career receiving touchdowns and receptions following a 200-yard performance against Iowa. Sayin, who was a Heisman finalist last year, matched that tally against the Hawkeyes with 324 yards and three touchdowns.
According to the latest rankings, Smith sits at the bottom of the top 10 Heisman candidates after Week 5. Gunner Stockton from Georgia, a 7, is listed just ahead of Smith at No. 8. Sayin appears slightly higher at No. 7, following a strong start to the season.
Both Smith and Sayin have shown significant growth throughout the season. Smith's 200-yard game against Iowa not only set a new school record but also demonstrated his continued dominance as a receiver. Sayin, on the other hand, has improved his rushing ability and completed percentage, leading the Big Ten in both categories.
If Smith and Sayin can maintain their current performance levels and continue to contribute to their teams' successes, they may climb higher in the Heisman contenders' list. Their potential to finish in the top spots will be closely watched throughout the remainder of the season.
