It's almost impossible to win college football's top individual award without playing for a great team, which explains why Jamie Newman jumped to the fourth-betting favorite in early 2020 Heisman Trophy odds on Saturday.

Newman, who previously played quarterback at Wake Forest, confirmed Saturday that he would soon enroll at Georgia as a graduate transfer for the spring semester. The betting market quickly reacted, as DraftKings Sportsbook shortened his Heisman odds from +2000 to +900.
