Top 10 Contenders for 2007
Player	Comment
Steve Slaton RB West Virginia	Will likely be hurt by playing in a perceived weaker conference and by the fact that his teammate (Pat White) could steal some votes.
John David Booty QB Southern Cal	If you go by the theory that the QB for the best team has as good a chance as anyone then you have to say Booty is definitely one to watch.
Darren McFadden RB Arkansas	"D-Mac" gets my vote as the best player in college football but as we all know, that doesn't always translate into winning the Heisman.
Brian Brohm QB Louisville	Brohm and the Cardinals will compete with Hawaii for top scoring offense in the land. Louisville would probably have to run the table for him to have a serious chance.
Colt Brennen QB Hawaii	Brennen's stats will no doubt be jaw-dropping but there is no realistic chance that a QB from Hawaii win's the Heisman.
Ray Rice RB Rutgers	Who would have thought the Big East would have so many Heisman contenders but make no mistake, Rice is as good as any of them.
Mike Hart RB Michigan	Healthy in 2006, Hart finished fifth in the Heisman race and if the Wolverines are as good as expected, he could finish much higher this season.
Tim Tebow QB Florida	Tebow got a lot of publicity last season for running the ball but he is going to have to prove he can run an offense for four quarters before he can be a star.
Pat White QB West Virginia	Doesn't throw enough to get the attention of Heisman voters that love guady passing stats. Still, he is incredibly dangerous in the open field.
CJ Spiller RB Clemson	Might possibly belong in the "unknown" players list for the lack of national attention he has gotten. Leading the ACC in rushing in 2007 should change that.

Sleepers for 2007
Player	Comment
South Florida QB Matt Grothe	As a redshirt freshman Grothe amassed over 3,000 total yards which led to him being named Big East rookie of the year.
San Jose State QB Adam Tafralis	Tafralis is a big reason for the turnaround at San Jose State. Look for the senior QB to break many Spartan passing records in 2007.
Iowa State WR Todd Blythe	Blythe has been hurt by the lack of maturation of QB Bret Meyer but this 6-6 senior has plenty of skills.
Oklahoma RB DeMarco Murray	Will have to share carried in 2007 with Allen Patrick but make no mistake, Murray is the next great Sooners running-back.
Illinois QB Juice Williams	Williams needs to work on his passing but the sophomore is plenty exciting. True freshman WR Arrelious Benn could become a favorite for years to come.
Rice WR Jarrett Dillard	All Dillard did last season was lead the nation with 21 touchdowns while amassing 1,274 yards. Is a strong candidate to win the Biletnikoff Award.
Nebraska QB Sam Keller	Keller transferred from Arizona State where he threw for over two thousand yards in just seven games in 2005. Nebraska's west coast offense should suit him well.
Indiana WR James Hardy	This 6-7 junior has plenty of NFL skills - if he only had a decent supporting cast he might actually be known outside the state of Indiana.
California WR DeSean Jackson	Jackson averaged 18 yards per catch while hauling in nine TD's in 2006. He is even more dangerous as a punt returner where he has five TD returns in 26 attempts.
Wisconsin TE Travis Beckum	The converted linebacker and defensive end is nearly impossible to cover one-on-one. He caught 61 balls for over 900 yards in 2006.
