Julian Sayin doesn\u2019t consider himself the Heisman frontrunner.<\/p>\n
The Ohio State quarterback gives that distinction to Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I visited Bama, I visited a few times,\u201d Sayin told the Down 2 Business podcast. \u201cTy was always my host, and he\u2019s a good dude. He\u2019s a great player. I still text him today, so I\u2019m going to say Ty. He\u2019s having a great year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simpson has the Crimson Tide at 7-1 (5-0 in SEC) behind his 2,184 yards passing and 20 touchdowns. He has only one interception on the season and has completed 68 percent of his passes (177 of 261).<\/p>\n
Not that Sayin isn\u2019t have a great year himself.<\/p>\n
Sayin is completing 80 percent of passes with a 156-of-195 mark for 1,872 yards and 19 TDs with just three interceptions. <\/p>\n
Sayin is currently the No. 3 favorite for the Heisman at BetMGM<\/a> behind Indiana\u2019s Fernando Mendoza and Simpson at +325 each. Sayin is at +400, and ahead of Texas A&M\u2019s Marcel Reed at +550.<\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
