The Heisman Trophy:
Named after the former Brown University college
football player and coach John Heisman, is awarded annually by the
Heisman Trophy Trust to the most outstanding player in collegiate
football. While it is not the only award honoring the most outstanding
player in college football – Walter Camp Award and Maxwell Award are
awarded to the "best player" – it is considered the most prestigious
and receives the most media attention.
Selection:
The prestige in the award stems
from several factors. Balloting is open for all football players in
all divisions of college football, though winners usually represent
Division I Football Bowl Subdivision schools. The closest that a
player outside of the modern Division I FBS came to winning the
Heisman is third place. In addition to personal statistics, team
achievements play a heavy role in the voting – a typical Heisman
winner represents a team that had an outstanding season and was most
likely in contention for the national championship or a major
conference championship at some point in that season.
