GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Following a thoroughly impressive 2019 campaign, Florida quarterback Kyle Trask goes into his final season in the orange and blue as a nationally known name.

In fact, he's known enough at this point that he's listed as a one of the Heisman Trophy candidates by Las Vegas sportsbooks. Sportsbook USA has Trask listed with current 60-1 odds to claim college football's top individual award. Only 17 players in the country have better odds to win the award.

Trask flew onto the scene for the Gators this season when he took over for starting quarterback Feleipe Franks late in the Kentucky game in September. After Franks suffered a broken and dislocated ankle in the second half, Trask entered facing an 11-point deficit.

He led a thrilling come-from-behind win before ripping off a 9-2 record as a starter the rest of the way. Florida won 11 games, thanks to Trask's ability to take advantage of a strong receiving corps with his quick decision-making in the passing game.

Trask put up the biggest numbers at the quarterback position at Florida since Tim Tebow left Gainesville following the 2009 season. He went 237-of-354 passing for 2,941 yards and 25 touchdowns while throwing just seven interceptions.

The real question was whether Trask could develop as a runner over time, opening up more of the offense.

And while nobody would call Trask electric, by any means, he did appear to be improving as a runner late in the season. In the final few games he was effective at finding rushing lanes that he could take off through for gains that would move the chains.

After posting a negative rushing total for most of the season, Trask ended up finishing in the black, posting 8 net yards rushing (lost sack yardage counts against rushing totals in college) but adding four touchdowns with his legs.

One thing that is interesting? Five other SEC quarterbacks have higher Heisman Trophy odds than Trask.

Trask will have to contend with the loss of four senior receivers that accounted for 139 catches for 1,871 yards and 16 TDs during the 2019 season. Even so, Trask will return leading receiver Kyle Pitts and wideouts Trevon Grimes and Kadarius Toney are both back for their senior seasons.

Below are the players with greater or even Heisman Trophy odds than Trask, via Sportsbook USA.
