The Miami Hurricanes could have another Heisman Finalist this season from the quarterback position.

Carson Beck has skyrocketed in the oddsmakers' eyes as the first week of College Football is finished. Many doubted the quarterback entering this season, but the Miami Hurricanes quarterback is now one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy.

Bekc played a good game against No. 6 Notre Dame. He finished 20-31, for 205 yards and two NFL-level touchdowns. Beck is also starting to get more comfortable in the offense that he just started to take part in during the summer.

The best of Beck has yet to be seen, but there is still time for him to grow into one of the best quarterbacks in the country, similar to the 2023 season. In the next five games, Beck will have a chance to make an argument for being the Heisman favorite if he plays out of his mind.

The Hurricanes will face Bethune-Cookman, USF, No. 13 Florida, No. 14 Florida State, and then a Friday night showdown against Louisville. If the Hurricanes are still undefeated by that point in the season, the Canes should be the No. 1 team in the country with Beck as the Heisman front-runner, with some challenges coming from LSU's Garrett Nussmeier.

The Hurricanes also have another Heisman-level player on their team in Rueben Bain Jr. The Canes could have an internal race for the Heisman if both continue to play out of their minds as the season progresses.
