08:24 AM ET 08.13 | Now two seasons removed from Russell Wilson's departure, N.C. State should feel awfully good about their new leader. [There] are 21 QBs listed in Vegas Odds to win the Heisman all the way to the 200-1 guys. N.C. State QB Mike Glennon isn't even one of those 21 quarterbacks. Glennon is certainly on NFL scouts' radar, though. I got a chance to see him in person a few weeks back out here in California, while he was working as a counselor at the Elite 11 camp. Glennon was there, along Matt Barkley, Geno Smith, Aaron Murray, among others. The 6-6, 230-pounder stood out, and not just because of his height. His arm is very, very impressive. ... [Glennon] shined in his first season as the Pack's starter, throwing 31 TDs against just 12 INTs.

Heisman will be another dark horse like Cam....don't think it will be Barkley.

Playing at NC State, this kid doesn't have the proverbial snow ball's chance of winning the Heisman.
Then again, whoda thunk a kid from Baylor would ever win?

Yeah, if anyone other than Barkley has a shot at the Heisman, it will be Logan Thomas, not an unknown fron N.C. State!!!

Tyler Willson should have a great chance if the Gumps and LUS defense don't make him look to bad.

IMO, Tyler Wilson is too much like Barkley. I don't think either one will win the Heisman. The Heisman voters are looking for an exciting playe,r that likes to run the ball. Just my opinion.

There are a lot of quality guys out there who could turn it on and come out of nowhere...ala Cam Newton or RGIII...

I agree, both of them were very exciting college football players, and IMO that is what the Heisman voters are looking for.
