The winner of the 2024 Heisman Trophy—awarded annually since 1935 to the top player in college football—is set to be announced this coming Saturday, December 14.
The Heisman Trophy, widely considered to be the most prestigious honor in all of college football, was created by the Downtown Athletic Club—a private and social club in New York City that operated from 1926 to 2002. Originally named the "Downtown Athletic Club Trophy," the award was renamed to the "Heisman Trophy" in 1936 following the club's director—John Heisman.
