The Downtown Athletic Club of New York City created the award and presented it first in 1935. The award, in 1935, was known as the 'DAC Trophy'. It was renamed 'Heisman Trophy' for John Heisman, the DAC's first athletic director, when Heisman passed away in 1936.
College football's most prestigious individual award will be given out this weekend, as the Heisman Trophy will go to either Oregon's Marcus Mariota, Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon or Alabama's Amari Cooper. The ceremony will take place Saturday, December 13 at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN and WatchESPN. Mariota is considered the overwhelming favorite.
