The Heisman Trophy was initially awarded to Jay Berwanger of Chicago University by members of New York's Downtown Athletic Club (DAC) in 1935. In 1936, the trophy was named after John W. Heisman. Archie Griffin of Ohio State became the first and only athlete to win the Heisman Trophy in consecutive seasons on December 2, 1975. Clemson University hired Heisman as a football and baseball coach.
