Seven times a USC football player has won the Heisman Trophy, a mark shared with Notre Dame and Ohio State. Mike Garrett started it all in 1965, and most recently, Reggie Bush heard his name called in 2005, before he ultimately forfeited the award under his own volition five years later.
Ever year since, the Trojans have consistently had players propped up as a Heisman candidate. From John David Booty to Matt Barkley, Cody Kessler and Sam Darnold, USC knows preseason hype like no other.
Marqise Lee and Adoree’ Jackson just missed trips to New York, but what about the players who made a serious run at it?
