how many freshmen have won the heisman
Only two freshmen and three sophomores have won the Heisman Trophy Award â and all within the last seven seasons. The two freshmen are, in fact, the last two winners: quarterbacks Johnny Manziel and the youngest Heisman Trophy recipient ever, Jameis Winston. Thereâs a youth movement afoot in the winnerâs selection process. Seniors have historically won the most by far. Fifty six of the 79 winners (71 percent) have won the Heisman in their final year.
