Heisman Trophy winners
From Jay Berwanger to Derrick Henry, everyone who has won the prestigious Heisman Memorial Trophy, which is given every year by the Heisman Trophy Trust to the most outstanding college football player. See total points for both the winner and runner-up for every year, as well as the margin of victory for each race.
(* Reggie Bush voluntarily forfeited his 2005 Heisman Trophy after allegations that he received improper benefits while at USC. The Heisman Trust decided to leave the award vacated instead of naming a new winner.)
