- Here's Some History - 

Seven USC Trojans have won the famous Heisman Trophy award. RB Mike Garrett was the first Trojan to win the iconic award back in 1965. RB O.J Simpson was next in 1968, RB Charles White followed Simpson in 1979 and RB Marcus Allen clinched the trophy in 1981. 

QB Carson Palmer won the award in 2002, Matt Leinart followed in 2004, and Reggie Bush won in 2005. Although Bush's award was later vacated due to violations with the NCAA, Bush still remains on of the most elite players to win the prestigious award and grace USC's football program.
