Tonight we are honoring perhaps the most talented, M accomplished and eclectic classes in our history. The on-the-field and front-office accomplishments of this class speak volumes as we pay tribute to a Heisman Trophy winner, an NFL All-Pro and College All-American, a major golf winner, a Major League Baseball MVP and future first ballot Hall of Famer and a Commissioner who took his sport to new levels of popularity. But these accomplishments are but a small part of why this class is special. Although it is hard to believe, the community service and philanthropic endeavors of this entire class may be even more impressive than their athletic accomplishments. As you will learn tonight, the special programs of the Warrick Dunn Foundation, the Tim Tebow Foundation and the Jones Family Foundation have had special effects, on not only their local communities but also on a national and world wide stage. Under the leadership of Tim Finchem, PGA Tour and PGA Charities have raised tens of millions of dollars for local and national charities. Prior to her untimely passing, Colleen Walker used her position as a major golf winner to raise awareness of breast cancer. Without question, these inductees are not only sports heroes, but community heroes and role models for all and we welcome them into the Florida Sports Hall of Fame family. I want to thank our wonderful partners who have been so engaged and helpful in making our series of enshrinement events a success. In particular, our presenting sponsor FANATICS played a major role in making tonight possible. Please take a moment to review the full list of partners listed in this commemorative publication.

  • Heisman Trivia
    Heisman Trivia HEISMAN.COM @HEISMANTROPHY 318 Did you know...? Some Facts about the Heisman Trophy • Designed by sculptor Frank Eliscu in 1934, the Heisman Trivia Trophy is modeled after Ed Smith, Eliscu’s former high school classmate and star running back for the now defunct New York University football team. • Regarding the Heisman Memorial Trophy, Frank Eliscu said, "It is not my best work but it turned out to be something like the Statue of Liberty. I always thought it was wonderful that I'll be able to leave something like this behind." Eliscu continued working until he passed away from a heart attack in 1996. • The trophy is made of cast bronze, stands 13.5 inches (34.3 cm) tall and weighs 25 pounds (11.3 kg). • The first Heisman Trophy was awarded to Chicago’s Jay Berwanger in 1935. Initially, it was known then as the Down- town Athletic Club Award. After John Heisman, the legend- ary college coach and DAC athletics director, succumbed to pneumonia in 1936, the award was renamed in his honor. • Initially, the Downtown Athletic Club Award was given to, "the best college football player, east of the Mississippi." Once the award was renamed the Heisman Trophy, the geographical limitations were removed and players of all col- leges, from coast to coast, were eligible to win the award. • In 1935 Jay Berwanger did not have any room in his home for the trophy and gave it to his Aunt. Berwanger’s aunt was not familiar with college football and did not realize that the trophy meant her nephew was the best player in college football, so she used it as an extravagant doorstop.
