Take Mark Ingram (+350): If you’d gone to the sports book at this time last year trying to make a preseason Heisman Trophy wager, Ingram’s name wouldn’t have even been on the board. Now, one year later he looks to become just the second player ever to take home the award twice.
After a solid freshman season, Ingram burst onto the scene in 2009, rushing for 1658 yards and 18 touchdowns, becoming a key cog in Alabama’s high octane offense.
