The reigning AP Player of the Week reigns supreme in Tucson, as junior wideout Tetairoa McMillan snagged 10 catches for a school record 304 yards and four scores against New Mexico on Saturday.
The Week 1 showcase helped the Arizona Wildcats emerge victorious over their former WAC rivals from Albuquerque, with the home side holding on for a wild 61-39 victory in their season opener across Arizona sports betting. For McMillan, Saturday’s opener added a fifth straight 100-yard game to his résumé (dating back to the 2023 season), giving the junior out of Anaheim’s Servite High School eight for his career in 26 games in Tucson.
With that in mind, BetArizona.com wanted to keep tabs on McMillan’s Heisman Trophy and Biletnikoff Award odds for 2024, utilizing DraftKings Sportsbook Arizona’s data for both honors.

Current Tetairoa McMillan Heisman, Biletnikoff Award Odds
When it comes to McMillan’s Heisman Trophy odds, the junior out of Southern California is ranked in a tie with Conner Weigman of Texas A&M for 22nd nationally, at +6500. That square out to a 1.5% chance of the Wildcats’ superstar receiver winning the sport’s top individual honor, which illustrates just how hard it is for a non-quarterback to take home the Heisman each fall.
Luckily for McMillan, he’s currently the frontrunner on DraftKings Sportsbook Arizona to win the Fred Biletnikoff Award, which is given to the nation’s top wide receiver each year.
Right now, DraftKings Sportsbook lists McMillan at +300 to win the award, which puts him ahead of Missouri’s Luther Burden (+600), Colorado’s Travis Hunter and Jeremiah Smith out of Ohio State (+700) on the national level.
That odds figure means that McMillan currently has a 30% shot of being the first Arizona Wildcats player to ever win the Biletnikoff Award, speaking to the junior’s hot start to the 2024 college football season.
