Brian Hill consideration for Heisman?

Has a nice ring to it doesn't it, always loved everything about this kid, and finishing in the top 6 last year and standing at 2 so far this year, I think he's truly worthy of being invited, but that might put a kink in the PC culture that is the Heisman Club(kinda like Trump and the political structure we've seen this year as well)
1010 for the year so far and 5 games left and the leader is another Mountain West player at SDSU.

I know this is wishful thinking but what the heck, another question is does he stay or go after this year??? Unlike the NBA once you declare you cannot go back to school (correct or not???) If he does stay, that all time rushing record will be one that I'll probably never see be broken ever again in my lifetime. Enjoy this #5 and yes if we do pull the miracle against the Mighty #13 Broncos then we may hear more about him being considered even more, but come on media take notice.

Fun, fun to consider regardless, GO POKES and #5!!!!
 
He won't get consideration and won't even win the conference offensive POY. Donnel Pumphrey has that locked up at this point

^This unfortunately. Now...if he returns for his senior season, and remains healthy, that story may be different. It would be the first time since Marcus Harris, 20 years ago (1996) we will have a player in the Heisman conversation (a fun fact for you new-money UW fans).

Even if Wyoming were to win out and Brian Hill were to average 250 all purpose yards per game, he would still not be included in the conversation.

Whether he stays or goes? If he is projected in the first 5 rounds, he is gone. Unfortunately, I believe that he will be gone. I also do not blame him; running backs have really short shelf lives in the NFL. (Ex. A - See retired as of yesterday Arian Foster)

Sad but true, make the $ while it's there, but just imagine if he does stay, he'd hit 5000 yards at UW history, just think of that for a minute

He could. Or he could tear an ACL in the first game next year, never sniff the NFL, and lose millions. If he was any other position, then I would absolutely believe he should stay.

...but this is an RB heavy year. I could see him grading out in the 5th round or lower in which case staying makes a ton more sense because RBs much less often play past their rookie contracts which are completely based upon round drafted.

Not sure I agree with locked up, still a lot of time left in the season.

That is why colleges are allowed to purchase insurance policies for players & injuries these days. So if something does happen, they will be covered. And it gives the player a little added incentive to stay in school and finish up (if they want).

I did say at this point... I am assuming he stays on the same tear he has been on for the last 3 seasons.

If Wyoming were to win MWC, I could see Hill Winning POY
