Winning the Heisman Trophy forever places a football player in an elite fraternity of collegiate excellence. Among the 82 different winners, six are Oklahoma Sooners. From Billy Vessels to Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma football has produced a number of magnificent players and outstanding seasons. And with all due respect to every Sooner already immortalized in OU’s Heisman Park, Baker Mayfield is second to none. In fact, Mayfield earned 86 percent of the total possible votes for the Heisman, which is the third-highest percentage in the history of the award.
The latest member of the Heisman Trophy fraternity gives OU six winners in school history, tying USC for second most in the country if you don’t count Reggie Bush.
