Justice Hill’s Heisman Odds Trending Upward

Fresh off of his 123-yard, one-touchdown performance against Boise State — his second 120-plus yard game this year — Justice Hill saw his Heisman odds spike in the right direction on Monday.

Hill, who was not even listed in the preseason odds by the sports book, is tied with Missouri quarterback Drew Lock and Georgia running back D’Andre Swift for the seventh-best odds to win the Heisman at 30-to-1.

The Athletic took a staff Heisman straw poll and tabbed Hill as No. 8 in their voting with two second-place votes, ahead of Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor and Ohio State’s Nick Bosa.

In the early goings of 2018, Hill ranks 32nd nationally averaging 92.3 yards per game and 8.2 yards per carry with four rushing scores. Expect those numbers to rise as the Big 12 slate gets underway and as the junior tailback rushes his way up Oklahoma State’s record books.
