The 2026 Heisman race remains exceptionally open in the early preseason because a deep group of quarterbacks—including CJ Carr at Notre Dame, Arch Manning at Texas, Darian Mensah at Miami, Julian Sayin at Ohio State, Trinidad Chambliss at Ole Miss, and Dante Moore at Oregon—anchor contending programs with strong offensive lines, playmakers, and favorable schedules. Wide receivers like Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith and other signal-callers such as Gunner Stockton, Josh Hoover, and John Mateer add further balance, while roster turnover from the transfer portal and NIL dynamics create uncertainty around supporting casts and team success. Without 2026 regular-season results or injury reports, trader consensus reflects the absence of a clear frontrunner and the historical tendency for late surges driven by conference play and playoff positioning.
