As the college football season is set to commence, Michigan sportsbooks are buzzing with game lines, championship futures, and conference title odds. However, DraftKings has introduced an enticing new market for sports bettors in the state – season long player props.
As of Thursday afternoon, the available options were scarce, and none of them featured players from a Michigan school. Nevertheless, such options do exist.
Available season long NCAA football player prop odds
Individual player props for season-long passing, rushing, and receiving yardage and touchdown totals are being offered by DraftKings Sportsbook MI.
Michigan sportsbooks commonly offer NFL markets, but DraftKings stands out as the sole provider for college football games.
DraftKings is the sole platform where you can place bets on the season passing yardage total for Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker, while almost every other sportsbook offers Heisman odds, some of which also provide individual player props for specific college football games.
College football passing props
Now let’s move on to the next aspect, which is the rather haphazard selection of players that are available. The quarterback category seems to have the most options, with popular choices like C.J. Stroud from Ohio State and Bryce Young from Alabama, who are considered favorites for the Heisman Trophy. On the other hand, the remaining players seem to have been chosen without any particular pattern or rhyme.
Below is a compilation of quarterbacks along with their total yardage and touchdowns, with both sides having odds of -115.
- Hendon Hooker had an impressive season at Tennessee, throwing for 2,749.5 yards and recording 27.5 touchdowns.
- Aidan O’Connell from Purdue University has achieved a total of 3,849.5 points with an average of 29.5 points.

College football receiving props
The following players are listed with their yardage and touchdown totals in the receiving props category. Both sides have -115 odds.
- Brock Bowers from Georgia achieved an impressive score of 749.5 out of 10.5.
- Marvin Mims from Oklahoma has a performance rating of 879.5 with 6.5 as his score.

- Jaxson Smith-Njigba from Ohio State has accumulated 1,549.5 yards and 12.5 touchdowns.
No Michigan or Michigan State players listed
Although the DraftKings market is open in Michigan, players from local teams are not eligible to participate.
It’s predictable that Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, and Western Michigan are excluded, despite our fondness for betting on MACtion.
Upon closer examination, it may seem a little unexpected that the two Michigan-based Big Ten schools are not part of the selection. However, after careful consideration, it becomes clear why this decision was made.
After the departure of running back Kenneth Walker III, Michigan State is experiencing a lack of prominent figures. Michigan, on the other hand, is anticipated to possess a dynamic offense but falls short in terms of widely recognized names beyond the Mitten.
Determining a definite number for Michigan quarterbacks Cade McNamara and JJ McCarthy can be quite challenging since Jim Harbaugh has yet to declare an official starter.
Both Michigan and Michigan State players have chances of winning the Heisman, but:
- Jarek Broussard is a running back from MSU.
- Michigan running back Blake Corum is an impressive player.
- Michigan’s running back, Donovan Edwards, is a talented player.
- JJ McCarthy, a talented quarterback, is committed to playing for the University of Michigan.
- Michigan’s quarterback is Cade McNamara.
- Jayden Reed, a wide receiver from Michigan State University (MSU):
- Payton Thorne, the quarterback from MSU.
