00:00The 2024 Heisman Trophy ceremony where the winner of the hardware will be announced once again

00:06Colorado's two-way superstar in Travis Hunter a minus

00:109,000 favorite to win the award but it's not so much just this year as the race seems done

00:16It is already an early look at next year. So welcome back a staple of college football today

00:23That is Kate of house. It's been a while

00:25I mean, it's it's been over a year and usually we do this in season

00:29But we mix it up a little bit and we think about next year's Heisman trophy as always

00:35There's three tiers those that are not invited those on the waitlist and those likely see open invite walk in whenever you would

00:43That's it. You'd expect that

00:49With the not invited and one of these might seem unnecessary, but I think it's very very important

00:55Let's get this out of the way if Cam rising goes back to college good for him. I do not care

01:00He's nowhere near allowed the Heisman Trophy race. There's no way this kid's 37 years old. I don't want to hear it

01:06I don't care. There's a chance. He's not even in college next year still not invited not doing it

01:12Jeremiah Smith that would be the most controversial of this group here

01:17Because Jeremiah Smith is going to get offseason buzz for the Heisman people are going to start to shift this

01:22Conversation to oh, it's a positions players award. Look at what hold on a second

01:26What was necessary for position players to get love this year was to was one guy being arguably the best defensive player and wide receiver?

01:34in college simultaneously and a running back flirting with the single-season record and

01:40Going 11 and 1 then a conference championship victory as well

01:44Jeremiah Smith would need to not be the best receiver in college football

01:48He would need to be maybe the best player in all of college football by a monstrous margin and then lastly

01:56Malachi Nelson I told you I will make an omission if he goes back to Lincoln Riley, but ultimately I'm not doing it

02:02Didn't beat out Maddox Madsen the nonsensical move to leave Lincoln Riley

02:06Like truly I don't even like he may end up next year playing for you know

02:11Western Kentucky or something his decisions are always out of left field here

02:15This is who's not invited back could be like TJ Finley right TJ Finley in the transfer portal as well

02:21Jeremiah Smith one of the best wide receivers we understand

02:24But I agree with you from the position aspect Ryan Williams might have some

02:30You know a little you know debate going on with Jeremiah Smith as well two guys that if you let inside the velvet rope

02:36I'd be like is this the NFL draft conversation

02:39But still Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams in their freshman year can't go for at least another two

02:45As of right now that is sensational. We'll have some great wide receiver talent back in college football

02:52Here is the beautiful thing about the long offseason that is college football

02:55Through the bowl period prep and everything that we will see this guy is going to land somewhere

03:00Yeah, and he is going to get a fan base

03:03Incredibly excited about his prospect the number one quarterback recruit in certain spots in the 2023 class

03:10Does he still have a little bit of that gumption a little bit of that juice and that offseason?

03:15Optimism will build and it will be fun to watch because Cass kept although he is not on your list

03:20Invited in to the Heisman house in a K dubs house. It is still worth noting that wherever he ends up

03:26Especially if it's at a power conference program

03:29The price is going to be relatively short at least of the lack of production. He has had in college

03:34I think people will be interested because of who he is which is why he is again

03:39I think people be interested in these two. No one will be but betting cam rising, but I still had to make the point

03:46Brother
