THE HEISMAN TROPHY CONQU’RING HEROES The John W. Heisman Trophy has been given to college football’s outstanding player each season since 1935 by the Downtown Athletic Club of New York. The trophy, first known as the D.A.C. trophy was renamed in 1936 for Heisman, the first athletic director for the Down town Athletic Club. Heisman played football at Penn and Brown and coached for 36 years at nine different schools. Three Michigan players -- TOM HARMON (1940), DESMOND HOWARD (1991) and CHARLES WOODSON (1997) -- have won the award. Wolverines have placed in the top 11 of the Heisman voting in 24 of the 79 years the trophy has been presented. Two Wolverines (Harmon in 1939, Bob Chappuis in 1947) have finished second in the voting, while three (Rob Lytle in 1976, Rick Leach in 1978, Jim Harbaugh in 1986) have finished third. Three others (Bob Timberlake in 1964, Anthony Carter in 1982, Chris Perry in 2003) have placed fourth. Carter placed among the top 10 in his soph- omore, junior and senior seasons, while Harmon, Ron Kramer (1955, ‘56) and Leach (1977, ‘78) placed in the top 10 twice in their U-M careers.
