Summary
In this episode, we explore the origin story of college football's Heisman Trophy, from its namesake John W. Heisman—a revolutionary coach who introduced game-changing innovations like the center snap and forward pass—to the trophy's establishment at New York's Downtown Athletic Club in 1935. Learn how this prestigious award, first given to Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago, evolved from a regional honor into college football's defining symbol of excellence.
