So far, Brazzell is off to a better start than Hyatt in his award-winning season. The competition is pretty comparable, too. In both 2022 and 2025, through five games, UT had faced two weaker opponents (’22 had two MAC teams while ’25 had ETSU and UAB), an away-from-home ACC squad, a home SEC game and an away SEC game against a team formerly in the West division.

Through five games in 2022, Hyatt had posted 27 catches for 388 yards and five touchdowns. All three of these marks are worse than what Brazzell has done so far.

Five games into the year, Brazzell has caught 31 passes for 531 yards and seven touchdowns. This is an SEC lead in touchdowns, receiving yards and catches of 10+ yards, in which he has 21. His touchdown count also ties for the FBS high.

Should have had 8 TDs...simply a terrible PI called on Chris

It will come down to how he does against Bama and OK. Hyatt put himself in the lead with his game against Bama.

Yup and should be close to 600 yards if not for that bad call

I think its different situations. Hyatt got in the convo with 5TD's in 1 game. Brazzell should already be in the lead. He has been lighting it up from game 1 on.

I definitely agree. My thoughts are based on the national narrative around the Offense system and the lack of respect we seem to garner from the voters.

I get it but it's hard for me to believe there is a lack of respect. Mostly because Hyatt won it and he didnt lead the nation in TD's. I think he finished 5th in receiving yards that year. The Bama game was his "Heisman" moment. Brazzell might lead the nation in all major receiving categories by the end of the year if he keeps playing like this. There are a ton of great WR's out there but its hard to find one playing better than Brazzell.
