From The Press Box | 2026 Heisman Trophy Predictions: Arch Manning, Jeremiah Smith & More to Watch

Who will win the 2026 Heisman Trophy? 🏆🏈 David  and Matt close out their college football preview on From The Press Box by revealing their preseason Heisman hopefuls—and somehow manage to select six completely different players. The discussion also includes Miami playmaker Malachi Toney, Texas receiver Cam Coleman, and the debate over whether an elite quarterback makes his receivers better—or whether a game-changing receiver makes his quarterback look like a Heisman candidate. But the predictions don't stop with the Heisman. David and Matt also look at some of the biggest storylines they'll be watching throughout the 2026 college football season, including the ongoing SEC vs. Big Ten debate, the arrival of Lane Kiffin at LSU, and which struggling programs could become college football's next great turnaround story. August predictions rarely survive an entire college football season—but making them is half the fun. Who's your preseason Heisman favorite, and what storyline are you watching most closely in 2026? #FromThePressBox #CollegeFootball #CollegeFootball2026 #HeismanTrophy #ArchManning #JeremiahSmith #JulianSayin #CJCarr #TrinidadChambliss #TexasFootball #OhioStateFootball #NotreDameFootball #MiamiFootball #SEC #BigTen The Write Team Podcast is a production of Write Team Services. *Support your local Write Team school district and your business with an INSANELY affordable monthly sponsorship of the podcast!
