UGA football has a long tradition of great players, great teams, and championships. Oddly enough, with such a storied past the oldest land-grant university in the country has only produced two Heisman Trophy winners.
In 1942, the legendary Frank Sinkwich was given the award for the nation’s best college football player, and then (of course) in 1982, perhaps the greatest college football player to ever lace up his cleats, Herschel Walker, won – and he probably should have won it more than once.
There was a Heisman buzz around a number of players over the years between Sinkwich and Walker, and then again since the early 1980s, but no one has grabbed enough attention from the voters when it came time to cast the ballots.
