A Longhorn for the Heisman? It's not the bearded Arch Manning but LB Rasheem Biles | Bohls' 9 things

Texas linebacker Rasheem Biles may be the best player in college football. After Colin Simmons' injury sidelined him for three games, Biles has been the standout performer for the Longhorns. He leads his team in five statistical categories, including six pass breakups. Biles is so effective that defensive players should be considered for the Heisman Trophy.

He even mentioned to reporters that he needs to rack up more turnovers and touchdowns to be in the conversation. The Heisman race has become more competitive due to injuries to Miami's Malachi Toney and Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith. While C.J. Carr, Darian Mensah and Drew Mestemaker deserve serious consideration, Biles is still the best linebacker in college football.
