The Latest From The Heisman Hopefuls Podcast

The Heisman Hopefuls Podcast is in its fourth year interviewing Heisman candidates from across the country. This week’s episode leads off with star Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, fresh off a huge win over LSU. He reflects on his remarkable path from Division II afterthought to Heisman hopeful.

Next, it’s the electrifying Jadan Baugh, the Florida running back leading the Gators back to national prominence. Then, the premier safety in the country so far this season, Kingston Lopa of California, who leads the nation with five interceptions already.

The episode closes out with Tom Fornelli of CBSSports.com, who shares his thoughts on the upcoming Florida-Ole Miss tilt in The Swamp and the Big Ten’s slow start.

The Heisman Hopefuls Podcast streams every Thursday during the college football season and is hosted by Chris Huston. The pod is available on all streaming networks, including Spotify and Apple Music, and full videos of the show are available on YouTube, with clips on TikTok and Instagram.

• As a weekly reminder, college football fans can now vote on a daily basis at hopefuls.heisman.com and have their vote count at the end of the season. The fan vote uses a season-long weighted model, developed in partnership with the Carnegie Mellon Sports Analytics Center, that gives greater weight to votes cast later in the year as the body of work grows and conference races intensify.
