The current front-runner to win the Heisman Trophy, according to BetUS, is Oregon's quarterback Dillon Gabriel, with odds of +700, surpassing Georgia's Carson Beck and Texas' Quinn Ewers in an unusual shift for college football's most prestigious award in July.
Beck and Ewers, who had been leading the odds since February, now have odds of +800 and +1000, respectively. At the start of July, Gabriel's odds at BetUS were 10-1, but increased after a surge of bets placed on the Ducks quarterback over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, despite being as long as 14-1 at other sportsbooks.

The SuperBook in Las Vegas started receiving bets on Gabriel on Sunday, causing his odds to tighten from 14-1 to 9-1.
"I think there were some maybe influential people that hopped on it and said they liked it on some public spaces," Chase Michaelson, oddsmaker for the SuperBook, told sources. "It's people we respect that like Gabriel, and I think there are lots of reasons to like him."
Gabriel has put up gaudy numbers at Oklahoma and UCF. He passed for 3,660 yards with 30 touchdowns and six interceptions with the Sooners last season before transferring to Oregon, where he inherits what's expected to be an explosive Ducks offense.
More money has been bet on Gabriel to win the Heisman than any other player at several books. At BetMGM sportsbooks, the senior has attracted more than twice as much money as any other player offered in the Heisman odds since July 4.
According to research, Gabriel, at +700, would have the longest odds of any Heisman favorite entering the season in the past 15 years.
Michaelson said the SuperBook received bets earlier in the year on Beck, Ewers, and Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, but the action on the Heisman Trophy odds had been quiet for months before this week.
"This thing is fairly static during this time because there's not much going on," Michaelson told ESPN. "Unless there are injuries or quarterback battles, we don't see much movement, but we definitely did this week."
