Hey guys! This might not be the traditional college question, but I've been wondering this due to my interest in football. Do you guys have any pointers to which colleges have historically won the most Heismans?
Sure, I can help you with that. The Heisman trophy, awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football, is a highly coveted accolade. Some colleges standout when it comes to the number of Heismans won by their players.
As of 2024, these include:
1. University of Notre Dame: Currently, the Fighting Irish are tied for the most Heisman winners with 7.
2. University of Southern California: The Trojans also have 7 Heismans, although one of them, won by Reggie Bush in 2005, was voluntarily forfeited due to NCAA violations.
3. Ohio State University: The Buckeyes boast 6 Heisman winners, including back-to-back wins in 1974 and 1975.
4. University of Oklahoma: The Sooners have 5 Heismans.
Your interest in football is valid, as colleges' football successes often contribute to campus morale and spirit. It also directly affects enrolment in some case. So, yes, looking into Heisman winners can be an interesting way to gauge a college's sports history and prestige. Hope this helps!
