The Big 12 conference is no stranger to Heisman trophies.
Six players in the conference have won the award since the decade began, but all have been quarterbacks. Only two Big 12 running backs have won the award since the conference formed in 1994. Colorado’s Rashaan Salaam in 1994 and Texas’ Ricky Williams in 1998.
Iowa State Cyclone running back Breece Hall has a chance to join the select group of Big 12 running backs to lift the trophy. As a sophomore last season, he was handed the keys to the Cyclone backfield and did not disappoint.
