Summary

It’s another Mark It Down Monday, and as the 2025 college football season draws near, it’s time for Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis to check in with some major predictions. In this episode, it’s the Heisman Trophy and Ohio State's recent history of finalists. Since Ryan Day arrived in 2017, OSU has had at least one finalist in all but two years. Three have been quarterbacks, plus a wide receiver and a defensive end. Can that run continue in 2025? They each provide who they think will be the top four for the award and why they picked the winner. Plus, a conversation about whether a third non-quarterback could join Chase Young and Marvin Harrison Jr. by doing so.
