Buckeyes’ Dynamic Duo Tipped as Next Heisman Heroes
On The Bobby Carpenter Show, Sporting News analyst Bill Bender named Ohio State quarterbacks Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin as early favorites for next season’s Heisman Trophy. With Smith fresh off a national championship and Sayin rebounding from a narrow loss last year, the duo leads a Buckeyes offense poised for a title chase. High-stakes games against Texas, Indiana and rival Michigan loom as potential showcase matchups. Despite CFP setbacks in the Cotton Bowl and Big Ten title game, Smith and Sayin’s return under coach Ryan Day has fans eyeing a perfect season and driven Heisman narratives well before fall camp begins.
In a stunning display of early summer frenzy, college football pundits have begun campaigning for trophy glory as soon as the grass regrows on campus practice fields. Bill Bender’s bold either-or pick feels less like analysis and more like choosing which Avengers to rescue the planet. Meanwhile, Smith and Sayin have been asked to autograph imaginary Heisman statuettes before their cleats even touch scrimmage. Rumor has it, season tickets include free foosball tokens for every touchdown thrown—or is that for every mention on a podcast? The true mark of offseason excellence may well be who can draw the most preemptive hype before the first warm-up snap.
