Even though we are several months away from the start of the college football season, many of the major publications have released their lists of early Heisman candidates. Our favorite Bulldog Knowhon Moreno is on every one of them. In today’s post, I’m just going to do a quick run down of where different websites rank Knowshon Moreno on the list.

Sportsline – They don’t have their Heisman candidates ranked in any specific order, but they do list Moreno. They mention that the Bulldogs should be preseason ranked #1 and that gives Moreno a great shot at winning a Heisman.

Rivals – They list Knowshon as the #4 ranked Heisman candidate. The only problem they mention is Coach Richt often likes to split the workload, and that could hurt Moreno’s numbers.

Sport Projections – They also have Knowshon listed at #4. I don’t really know much about this site to comment.

Scout – Scout.com did an early prediction a couple of months ago and had Knowshon Moreno listed at #14. A lot of things have changed since then, so once they get a new ranking out we’ll be sure to post it.

So there you have it. A list of some top Heisman Candidate rankings. I couldn’t find one for ESPN or Fox Sports, but I’m sure they’ll be out soon enough. It’ll be interesting to see how far Knowshon Moreno moves up the rankings as the 2008 season begins.

Knowshon Moreno is getting some much deserved publicity so far in 2008. Dawg Post has selected Knowshon Moreno to grace the cover of their 6th annual season preview magazine. This is Moreno’s second Dawg Post cover, but first appearance on the cover of a season preview edition. His previous cover came of the first-annual Next Big Thing edition last fall.

There’s no doubt that Dawg Nation has high hopes and enormous expectations of Knowshon this season. Anything short of a Heisman-type season will be a disappointment.

I think as we approach the opening of the football season throughout the summer, we’ll see Knowshon Moreno gracing the cover of several more magazines.
