One of the biggest surprises in college football this season has been the UCLA Bruins' promising 6-0 start to the campaign, and a key factor behind their success this year has centered on the keen play from Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

The redshirt senior passer has been quite an unpredictable quarterback to face. From his strong arm to his ability to move out of the pocket to pick up crucial yards on the ground, he simply continues to keep opposing defenses on their heels.

Thompson-Robinson has tallied 1,510 passing yards, 231 rushing yards, and 19 total touchdowns through six games played in the campaign. His 180.6 passer rating ranks sixth among all qualified quarterbacks in the FBS this season.

Overall, Thompson-Robinson is among the serious contenders for this season’s Heisman Trophy award. According to the FanDuel Sportsbook, his odds for the honor sit at +1600, which has him in a tie with Alabama quarterback Bryce Young for the fourth-best such odds.
