Heisman Trophy Winners By Year, School and Position

Since Chicago University's Jay Berwanger won the inaugural Heisman Trophy in 1935, there has been growing interest in who will win college football's top individual award. Not only are there bragging rights for individual winners, but universities proudly boast about the number of Heisman Trophy winners have come from their programs. It's also not uncommon to see statues saluting Heisman winners across college football's landscape.
