Winners of the Heisman include many who have gone on to great NFL careers including Roger Staubach (Navy - 1963), Tony Dorsett (Pitt – 1976), Herschel Walker (Georgia – 1982), and Lamar Jackson (Louisville – 2016).

With just three weeks left in the 2024 college football regular season, Travis Hunter is poised to become the first two-way Heisman Trophy winner since Charles Woodson won it back in 1997, nearly six years before Hunter was born.

Heisman voters often prefer to see the player they will be voting for, so teams that play high-profile, primetime games typically get more attention. It’s especially important for Heisman candidates to get TV exposure in October and November when the race is being decided.
