Heisman Trophy

The Heisman Memorial Trophy is a prestigious award given annually since 1935 to the top player in college football. It was created by the Downtown Athletic Club to recognize the most valuable college football player, initially east of the Mississippi, but now all players nationwide are eligible. The award has been won by eight teams, with USC having the most wins, and ten winners are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The trophy is designed after a football player, Ed Smith, and is made of cast bronze. The selection process involves three categories of voters, with each voter ranking three players in order, and the accounting firm Deloitte tabulates the votes.learn more on wikipedia
