Dylan Sampson left off ESPN's midseason Heisman Watch

[J C Higgins]

It should be Ashton Jeanty's to lose but he doesn't play for Oklahoma or Alabama. It seems like they have already chosen Travis Hunter as the winner thanks to The Sanders Effect.

I'm no Sanders fan but Hunter should win. Performs well on both offense and defense. How many players can even start on both sides of the ball, much less perform like he does?

Once the tape is turned on, Sampson will get rewarded by NFL scouts on draft day. But unfortunately, Jeantry from Boise state is stealing all the attention from a recognition perspective. Of course I'm biased, but Sampson to me is the better prospect.

12 players on the list including TWO from Bama. Sampson's 15 TD's have him in rare territory right now. Pitt's RB Desmond Reid made the list and he has 3 TD's and 200+ less yards than Sampson. Typical ESPN bias..

ESPN hates us

I think if a RB is gonna win it, Jeanty will be the guy.

Especially if they are the non P4 team to gets in to the dirty dozen playoff and he's still putting up numbers he's got a chance.

Genty has nearly double the yards (and YPC). Reid got 1 vote, so doesn't even really matter.

TD are Sampson's "reason". Unfortunately that's not enough.

*if there was a Vol to be considered, it's ABSOLUTELY Sampson.

Probably. But still dumb Sampson is left out of top 12. He’s been a monster this season

I think he would have had to be 200 yards a game good. to be on the Heistman.

Obligatory.

We’ve had 4 runners up, Sampson is not gonna break that cycle and win it.

Who cares. We got more serious issues to worry about. Like finding a offense

Not of fan of these dismissive comments. If you don't care, that's fine. No need to degrade someone's post. I personally liked the post and appreciated the info.

Sampson will be a definite Heisman Trophy candidate next season.
