 In the spring of his senior year, he played in the Final Four of the 1963 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament with the Oregon State Beavers men's basketball team.
 To date, he is the only athlete to win a Heisman Trophy and play in the Final Four.
 Baker was the first overall pick in the 1963 NFL draft and played with the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL) from 1963 to 1965.
 He then played for one season in the Canadian Football League (CFL) with the Edmonton Eskimos, in 1966.
 Baker was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1982.
Billy Dale Vessels (March 22, 1931 – November 17, 2001) was a gridiron football player.

John Terrill Majors (born May 21, 1935) is a former American football player and coach.
 A standout halfback at the University of Tennessee, he was an All-American in 1956 and a two-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Most Valuable Player award, in 1955 and 1956.

The Heisman Memorial Trophy (usually known colloquially as the Heisman Trophy or The Heisman), is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football in the United States whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity.
 Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work.
 It is presented by the Heisman Trophy Trust in early December before the postseason bowl games.
The 1951 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee in the 1951 season.
 In his next to last season as head coach, Robert Neyland led the Vols to their second consecutive national title and the fourth during his tenure.
 The 1951 title was also the first undisputed, at the time, national title in school history.
 Maryland has since been retroactively credited with the 1951 national championship by several selectors, including analyst Jeff Sagarin, as they went undefeated that year and beat Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl.
 At the time, the AP awarded the title before the bowl games were played.
 1951 was also Neyland's ninth undefeated regular season in his career.
 The 1950 Tennessee team had gone 11–1, winning its last nine games and capping the season off with a victory over Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
 In 1951, The Vols put together a 10–0 regular season and were voted national champs by the AP Poll before the bowl season began, as was the convention at the time.
 The game against Alabama on the Third Saturday in October that season was the first ever nationally televised game for both teams.
 The Vols were a dominant team in the regular season, winning their first nine games by a combined score of 338 to 61 before thwarting a spirited effort by in-state rival Vanderbilt in the last game of the regular season, 35–27.
The 1951 Sugar Bowl was the 17th Sugar Bowl matchup, pitting the Big Seven champion Oklahoma Sooners (ranked #1 in the Associated Press poll) against the Southeastern Conference champion Kentucky Wildcats (ranked #7).
 Oklahoma's regular season record was 10-0; Kentucky's was 10-1.
 Oklahoma averaged 34.5 points per game; only one team had scored more than twice in a game against Kentucky that season.
 Oklahoma entered the January 1, 1951, game with a 31-game winning streak; the Sooners' last loss had come on September 25, 1948.
 Kentucky was coached by Bear Bryant; Oklahoma was coached by Bud Wilkinson.
 Notable players for the two teams included Oklahoma's Billy Vessels and Kentucky's Charlie McClendon, Babe Parilli and Wilbur "Shorty" Jamerson.
 82,000 fans attended the game.
The 2012 Allstate Sugar Bowl was the 78th edition of the annual postseason college football bowl game known as the Sugar Bowl.
 It featured the Michigan Wolverines and the Virginia Tech Hokies on Tuesday, January 3, 2012, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
 The game was the final contest of the 2011 football season for both teams and was the third game of the 2011–2012 Bowl Championship Series (BCS).
 The game ended with 23–20 Michigan victory in overtime.
 Michigan represented the Big Ten Conference (Big Ten) as the at-large team from the conference, while Virginia Tech represented the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) as its at-large team.
 The game was televised in the United States on ESPN and an estimated 9.6 million viewers watched the broadcast live.
 This was the first Sugar Bowl since 2000, as well as only the sixth since World War II and the tenth overall, not to feature a Southeastern Conference (SEC) team.
The Heisman curse is a term coined to reference a two-part assertion of a negative future for the winning player of the Heisman Trophy.
 The "curse" supposes that any college football player who wins the Heisman plays on a team that will likely lose its subsequent bowl game.
 The trend of post-award failure has garnered the attention of the mainstream media.
 Talk of a curse in relation to bowl results was particularly prevalent from 2003 to 2008, when six Heisman Trophy winners compiled a cumulative 1–5 bowl game record, and five of those six led number one ranked teams into the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) National Championship Game as favorites (Heisman Trophy winners, including Reggie Bush, who gave back his Heisman Trophy, are 4–8 overall in the BCS National Championship Game and College Football Playoff National Championship, although prior to 2009 they were 1–6).
 Additionally, the Heisman curse asserts that in most cases a Heisman winner will have either a poor career in the National Football League (NFL), or in fact not even see such a football career at all.
 Although many Heisman winners have not enjoyed success at the professional level, including players like Matt Leinart, Andre Ware, Jason White, Rashaan Salaam, Eric Crouch, Ty Detmer, Troy Smith and Gino Torretta, proponents of the "curse" rarely cite highly successful players such as Barry Sanders, Charles Woodson, Eddie George, Tim Brown, Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen, Earl Campbell, and Tony Dorsett among the notables.
The 1987 Oklahoma State Cowboys football team represented the Oklahoma State University in the 1987 NCAA Division I-A college football season.
 The Cowboys finished the regular season with a 9–2 record.
 Thurman Thomas was in his senior year for the Cowboys.
 In his career at Oklahoma State, Thomas had 897 rushes for 4,595 yards, 43 touchdowns, and 21 100-yard rushing games.
 He also a Heisman Trophy candidate and a first team selection on the College Football All-America Team in 1987.
 In the 1987 Sun Bowl, Thomas ran for 157 yards and four touchdowns in the 35–33 victory over West Virginia, keeping Barry Sanders on the sidelines for the majority of the game.
 Thomas left OSU as the school's all-time leading rusher and his number 34 is one of only three jerseys retired at Oklahoma State.
 Sanders replaced Thomas as starter the next year in 1988.
The 1997 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee during the 1997 NCAA Division I-A football season.
 Quarterback Peyton Manning had already completed his degree in three years, and had been projected to be the top overall pick in the 1997 NFL Draft, but returned to Tennessee for his senior year.
 The Volunteers opened the season with victories against Texas Tech and UCLA, but for the third time in his career, Manning fell to Florida, 33–20.
 The Vols won the rest of their regular season games, finishing 10–1, and advanced to the SEC Championship Game against Auburn.
 Down 20–7, Manning led the Vols to a 30–29 victory.
 Throwing for four touchdowns, he was named the game's MVP, but injured himself in the process.
 The #3 Vols were matched up with #2 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.
 Had Tennessee won and top-ranked Michigan lost to Washington State in the Rose Bowl, the Vols would have been expected to win the national championship.
 However, the Vols' defense could not stop Nebraska's rushing attack, giving up more than 400 yards on the ground in a 42–17 loss.
 As a senior, Manning won numerous awards.
 He was a consensus first-team All-American and won the Maxwell Award, the Davey O'Brien Award, the Johnny Unitas Award, and the Best College Football Player ESPY Award, among others.
 However, he did not win the Heisman Trophy, finishing runner-up to Charles Woodson, a CB from Michigan, and the only defensive player ever to win the Heisman Trophy.

Question: The star player for which team in the 1951 Sugar Bowl went on to win the Heisman Trophy the next year?
