BringTheBlitz.com - NCAA Heisman Candidates Candidate Ranking: 1
Player Progression:
 | Darren McFadden, Jr. (RB) - Arkansas |  No candidate rose up the ranks in the Heisman field faster than McFadden did toward the end of last season. Thanks to his running skills and versatility, he came out of nowhere to finish second in the Heisman voting. On the year, he rushed for 1,647 yards and 14 TDs, but it was his oft-reprised role as a passer that captured the college football world's imagination. Currently, he is the leading candidate to win the Heisman in 2007, assuming Arkansas can challenge for the SEC title again. |
Candidate Ranking: 2
Player Progression:
 | Steve Slaton, Jr. (RB) - West Virginia |  Slaton has built an almost-perfect Heisman resume, as he followed up an impressive freshman year with an outstanding sophomore season that included a fourth-place Heisman finish. He rushed for 1,744 yards and 16 touchdowns and seemed to break long runs on a weekly basis. He'll have to compete with White for some of the pub, but he's got great name recognition at this point and with a big season he could take home the trophy. |
Candidate Ranking: 3
Player Progression:
 | John David Booty, Sr. (QB) - USC |  The USC quarterback has become a glamor position in college football and Booty stands to benefit from that in 2007. When you also take into account the likelihood that the Trojans will be the preseason No. 1 in all the polls, Booty has more advantages in this race than any other player out there. It doesn't hurt that he is coming off a great junior year in which he threw for 3,347 yards and 29 touchdowns either. There's a long way to go, but right now Booty is third for the 2007 Heisman. |
Candidate Ranking: 4
Player Progression:
| Colt Brennan, Sr. (QB) - Hawaii |  Brennan is coming off one of the greatest seasons for a quarterback in NCAA history with 5,549 yards and 58 touchdowns. Ironically, those numbers will be his biggest obstacle to his Heisman campaign - simply put, how do you top that? Maybe Brennan can. If he does, the Heisman could be his. |
Candidate Ranking: 5
Player Progression:
| Mike Hart, Sr. (RB) - Michigan |  It seems like he has been around for 10 years, doesn't it? He's coming off a fantastic season in which he rushed for 1,562 yards and 14 touchdowns and finished fifth in the Heisman voting. He's as steady as they come and one of the more-recognized names in college football - all good attributes to have in a Heisman race. |
