It started this summer with C.J. Spiller and Jonathan Dwyer.

Last week it was Jacory Harris.

This week fans are asking, “why not Ryan Williams?”

Because until Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy prove otherwise, it’s their Heisman Trophy to lose. It’s fun to talk about ACC players who might be in the mix, though, and there are certainly some worthy of consideration -- including Williams. But Tebow, who suffered a concussion against Kentucky, and McCoy are two outstanding quarterbacks whose teams are in the running for the national title. That’s tough to beat.

Virginia Tech's Williams has outstanding stats so far -- he's No. 6 in the country in rushing for a team that's No. 6 in the nation. He's performed well against the ranked teams, with his best effort and most carries coming last Saturday against Miami. Only Jahvid Best of Cal and Navy's Ricky Dobbs have scored more touchdowns. He's only a redshirt freshman. His best is yet to come, and he'll get the national recognition he deserves. The ACC will have a better chance at a Heisman Trophy contender in 2010, but this week, I’ve got a new name for you -- Russell Wilson.

That’s right, he got my vote this week.

Why? Because his numbers are phenomenal, he’s an outstanding quarterback, and he’s making better decisions this year. One major component of winning the Heisman Trophy is consistency, and Wilson -- unlike Harris, Dwyer and Spiller -- has been one of the most dependable players in the ACC so far.

Wilson has now thrown four touchdown passes in each of the last three games, a new NC State record, and he extended his national record-setting streak of consecutive pass attempts without an interception to 364. He’s only thrown one interception in his career, and every week he insists he’s not trying NOT to, he’s just trying to make a play.

And he does. His 413 yards of total offense is the highest recorded in a single-game this season in the ACC, while his passing efficiency rating of 169.56 ranks him eighth nationally. He’s also playing on a team capable of winning the Atlantic Division.

Despite NC State’s 7-3 loss to South Carolina, Wilson put his team in a position to win that game. And he was a difference-maker against Pitt. If Miami’s Harris earned consideration last week, there’s no reason Wilson shouldn’t get some attention this week.
