He is followed by Oregon quarterback Dante Moore (+700), who has led the Ducks to an unbeaten start to the season (4-0). Moore remained second despite the Ducks having a bye week ahead of a pivotal Big Ten clash against the Indiana Hoosiers.

Former Heisman odds favorite aiming for comeback

John Mateer shot up the 2025 Heisman odds list after a stellar start to the season with the Oklahoma Sooners. Mateer injured his hand during the Sooners' epic 24-17 win over the Auburn Tigers on September 20 and had surgery, which ruled him out of Oklahoma's next two games.

Mateer was the odds-on favorite to win the Heisman before his injury and during his weekly news conference, Oklahoma coach Brent Venables revealed that the quarterback was fighting to make a comeback before the Red River rivalry.

“He’s (Mateer) going to push the limits on everything when it comes to his rehab and getting back,” Venables said. “At the same time, I told him, you’re not going to defy the odds… You need to let those things heal.”

John Mateer transferred to Oklahoma from the Washington State Cougars and this season, he tallied 1,215 yards, resulting in six touchdowns and three interceptions, while adding 190 rushing yards, resulting in five touchdowns before his injury.
