Reggie Bush is finally getting his Heisman Trophy back and fans are so thrilled

Former USC Trojans running back Reggie Bush will soon reunite with the Heisman Trophy that is deservedly his own.

Over a decade ago, in 2010, Bush forfeited the trophy that he earned in 2005 due to receiving “improper benefits” while at USC. But now after spending far too long away from the award he worked so hard to receive, the Heisman Trust informed Bush that he will receive it back on Wednesday.

The Heisman Trust cited “enormous changes” in college football that went into the decision, per ESPN. This is something fans have wanted for years, but especially after new NIL policies became rampant in the NCAA.

Bush was excited when he heard the news (via ESPN):

“Personally, I’m thrilled to reunite with my fellow Heisman winners and be a part of the storied legacy of the Heisman Trophy, and I’m honored to return to the Heisman family. I also look forward to working together with the Heisman Trust to advance the values and mission of the organization.”

He wasn’t the only one thrilled about the decision from the Heisman Trust, though.

Fans were so happy for Reggie Bush
