5. Travis Etienne

I’ll start with maybe the most obvious one of the entire group.

Travis Etienne is a Heisman candidate. The sophomore has been absolutely explosive in the first six games and is one of the best running backs in the nation.

In my opinion, he is the best pure-runner in the nation

The entire offense really begins with Etienne’s running ability. For the rest of the season, I’m interested to see if he can keep up his monster stats and vaunt himself into the Heisman discussion.
