Jackson State quarterback Travis Hunter is among the most decorated recruits in college football history and has quickly lived up to the hype. After winning the SWAC Championship in his first season as a starter, Hunter has emerged as the clear favorite to win the 2024 Heisman Trophy.

Hunter's 2023 season was nothing short of spectacular. He led the FCS in passing yards (4,453) and touchdowns (48), while also rushing for 1,003 yards and 13 scores. His dual-threat ability and leadership skills have made him an unstoppable force.

Jackson State has become a force to be reckoned with under Deion Sanders' leadership. The Tigers have won three consecutive SWAC Championships and have a 34-4 record during that span. Hunter's contributions have been instrumental in their success, and he is expected to continue his dominance in 2024.

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Hunter is the overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman Trophy in 2024. He is listed at +150, far ahead of any other player. Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud (+400) and Alabama quarterback Bryce Young (+500) are the only other players listed with odds below +1000.

"Travis Hunter is a generational talent," said ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit. "He has everything you look for in a quarterback. He's accurate, mobile, and he can make plays with his arm and his legs. I expect him to have another incredible season in 2024."

If Hunter continues his current trajectory, he is all but certain to win the Heisman Trophy in 2024. However, injuries or a sudden drop in performance could open the door for other players to challenge him. Keep an eye on Stroud, Young, and several other top prospects, who could emerge as contenders down the line.
