FSU football and the Heisman Trophy have a lot of history together in a short amount of time. The award is supposed to granted to the most outstanding NCAA player in the nation, displaying diligence, perseverance, and hard work.
Notice, the award goes to the most outstanding NCAA player and not the best player in the nation.
The Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award honor the best player in the nation, and FSU had two players to earn those honors. Charlie Ward won the Heisman, Maxwell, and Walter Camp Awards in 1993. Jameis Winston won the Heisman and Walter Camp Awards in 2013.
