The 2012 Heisman winner is an early favorite to repeat.

Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports

Updated Heisman Trophy odds have been released by Bovada, and reigning Heisman winner Johnny Manziel not surprisingly holds the best odds at 9/2. He is followed by Braxton Miller, T.J. Yeldon and A.J. McCarron.

The lone defensive player listed is defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, destroyer of running backs. Clowney actually has the fourth-best odds of any player at this point, and with a big individual and team performance, he could be invited to New York at the season's end.

Clowney's odds have improved since the February update, as have Miller's, while Manziel's slid just a hair. Yeldon was a big mover in this update, going from 18/1 to 9/1, while Marqise Lee took a dive from 9/1 to 14/1.

Here’s the full list of odds:
