Presented is a 14-inch high replica of the Heisman Trophy signed by 26 winners of college football’s greatest award. The 26 signatures, all in silver marker on the 4 x5 ½ x 12 black graphite base include Barry Sanders, Marcus Allen, Tim Brown, Tony Dorsett, Paul Hornung, Jameis Winston, Eddie George, Markus Mariotta, Jim Plunkett, Johnny Manziel, Mark Ingram, Charles Woodson, Ron Dayne, Doug Flutie, Archie Griffin, Derrick Henry, Desmond Howard, Lamar Jackson, Troy Smith, Vinny Testaverde, Gino Toretta, Charlie Ward, Chris Weinke, and Charles White. The award was created by the Downtown Athletic Club in 1935 to recognize "the most valuable college football player east of the Mississippi," and was first awarded to University of Chicago halfback Jay Berwanger. After the death in October 1936 of the Club's athletic director, John Heisman, the award was named in his honor and broadened to include players west of the Mississippi. This item comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (8A27622).
