Scout.com released their list of the 2008 Heisman Trophy Contenders. Guess who is number 1 on that list? Tim Tebow! Was there any doubt? I don’t completely agree with their list. I would have ranked Knowshon Moreno and Percy Harvin (who is absent from the list) in the top 10. Here is what they had to say about the top 4… who all happen to be quarterbacks.

4. Chase Daniel, QB Missouri
The new star on the national scene, he had the Heisman won, or at least he would’ve finished second, if he had pulled off a great game in the Big 12 Championship against Oklahoma. He won’t have all the same weapons around him next year, but he’ll be an experienced triggerman who should put up the numbers to be in the chase again.

3. Sam Bradford, QB Oklahoma
Ignored in the Heisman race as a freshman, Bradford deserved more love as the nation’s most efficient passer. He won’t have Malcolm Kelly, who’s certain to be off early to the NFL, to throw to, and he could also lose Juaquin Iglesias, but he’ll still have a great line to work behind. It’s OU. There will always be elite receivers ready to step in.

2. Pat White, QB West Virginia
Assuming Steve Slaton bolts early for the big league, White will be the signature star of one of a national title contender. The question will be his durability after getting knocked out in the losses to Pitt and South Florida, but when he’s on, he’s as breathtaking as any runner in America. He’ll also have a devastating array of receiver weapons to work with.

1. Tim Tebow, QB Florida
Tebow is becoming an all-timer of a superstar as Superman will be the unquestioned leader of the likely preseason No. 1 team. It’ll be interesting to see how he matures and grows as a quarterback with far more help to carry the workload; he won’t have the same numbers since he won’t have to do it all himself. USC transfer Emmanuel Moody will be certain to take away touchdown runs, but that could mean Tebow turns into an even more devastating passer. The Heisman will be his for the taking.
