Trevone Boykin, TCU Horned Frogs, Senior
Trevone Boykin is the clear-cut NCAAF betting favorite to win the Heisman trophy this season, and it doesn’t take a rockets scientist to figure out why. In his first season as a starter, he turned TCU around from a 4-8 record in 2013 to a 12-1 mark in 2014. Entering this week’s games, Boykin has thrown for 2,927 yards and 28 TDs with just five INTs this season. His biggest strength is that he has the size and speed to make plays with his legs. This is the reason why Boykin has rushed for over 500 yards with additional six scores on the ground this season, making him a hot prospect to go as a first-round pick in the NFL next year. Career-wise, he has 10080 total yards with 83 TDs and 32 INTs. Notably, the season-ending injury to Baylor quarterback Seth Russell has left Boykin as the top QB candidate for the Heisman trophy this season, an award that he could easily win and better his stock as a stellar NFL prospect.Christian Hackenberg, Penn State Nittany Lions, Junior
Penn State’s Christian Hackenberg is one of the top pro prospects in college football today. At 6’4’’, 228 pounds, Hackenberg is a big QB with a live arm that can wreak havoc in the air. He, however, does not get the credit he deserves as a quarterback prospect, mainly because of the limitations of the offense he plays in. Those who know his stuff often compare him to Troy Aikman based on his overall look and skill set and that could probably propel him to the highest levels in the NFL. Entering Week 10, Hackenberg has a total of 7719 career yards with 45 TDs against 27 INTs. On the season so far, Hackenberg has totaled 1787 yards with 13 TDs against just two INTs, including 266 yard in the previous game against Illinois. With such numbers, do not be surprised if, at the end of the season, he finds his way atop most mock drafts.Connor Cook, Michigan State Spartans, Senior
After leading the Spartans to a Big Ten title and three Bowl victories, including one win at the prestigious Rose Bowl last season, Connor Cook has some sweet accolades to merit a spot among the best QBs in the NCAAF. This season, Cook is having a silently decent season with a 57.7 percent passer rating, 2070 passing yards and 17 TDs with juts 2 INTs. While those numbers are not as big as some of the QBs on this list, they are more impressive when you consider the kind of offense he leads at Michigan State. On the year, Cook has the opportunity to lead the Spartans to a Big Ten title and College Football Playoff appearance, which could continually push his stock higher. Be on the lookout for his performance when Michigan State plays Ohio State this month in a game that will decide his team’s fate in the run for the playoff.
