College football's four most outstanding players of 2023 will meet Saturday in New York City for the presentation of this year's Heisman Trophy winner.
Three quarterbacks — Jayden Daniels of LSU, Bo Nix of Oregon and Michael Penix Jr. of Washington — will sit alongside one wide receiver — Marvin Harrison Jr. of Ohio State — as finalists for the award that's annually presented to the country's most outstanding college football player.
Of the four, only Penix will play in the College Football Playoff when his Washington Huskies face Texas on Jan. 1.

Heisman Trophy odds 2023
The odds to win the Heisman Trophy favor the quarterbacks, who are the focal point of some high-octane attacks.
However, it's not inconceivable for a wide receiver to take home the crown. While a quarterback has won the past two crowns (Caleb Williams in 2022 and Bryce Young in 2021), Crimson Tide wide receiver Devonta Smith took home the trophy in 2020.

| Michael Penix Jr. (QB, Washington) | +900 |
| Bo Nix (QB, Oregon) | +2200 |
| Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR, Ohio State) | +20000 |

How does the Heisman voting process work?
The votes for the 2023 Heisman Trophy were tallied by 928 votes — 870 media members spanning six different geographic regions in the United States (Far West, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, South and Southwest), 57 living Heisman Trophy winners and one corporate-sponsored fan vote.
Voters were allowed to select any three players, in order of preference. A given voter's first-place vote is worth three points; their second-place vote is worth two points; and their third-place is worth one point.
