Heisman: Legends & Legacy Exhibition

This season, the Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame presents Heisman: Legends & Legacy—a special exhibition celebrating college football’s most iconic award and the 89 players who have earned it.

Running through early April, the exhibition traces the origins of the Heisman Trophy—from its creation at New York’s Downtown Athletic Club to the artists who meticulously craft a new work of art each year.

Through exclusive artifacts and immersive storytelling, guests will relive the journey of every Heisman winner, from Jay Berwanger to Travis Hunter Jr., highlighting unforgettable moments from the playing field to the award stage. With game-worn items, equipment, artwork, and personal memorabilia, Heisman: Legends & Legacy invites fans to discover how the Heisman became a true symbol of American sports.

Featured Legends Include:

• Joe Burrow (Louisiana State), 2019 Jersey

• Clint Frank (Yale), 1937 Publicity Jersey

• Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh), 1976 Game-Used Shoulder Pads

• Tim Tebow (Florida), 2008 Autographed Helmet

• Kyler Murray (Oklahoma), 2018 Cleats

• Reggie Bush (Southern Cal), 2005 Jersey

Located in the Andrea & James Clarke Family Gallery on the second floor, the exhibition offers more than a glimpse into sports history—it’s a celebration of both athletic and artistic excellence.
