Winning the Heisman Trophy involves individual statistics, a highlight-worthy play, aka a "Heisman moment," and almost as critical, how a team navigates its schedule during the season.
Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams won college football's most treasured trophy last season after leading the Trojans to 11 wins and a Cotton Bowl berth. He finished with 4,537 yards with 42 touchdowns while becoming the third quarterback in the last six seasons coached by head coach Lincoln Riley to win the award.
It isn't rare that a Heisman Trophy winner returns to school, as there have been nine instances this century of it happening; most are due to a player being ineligible for the NFL draft.
