The former Heisman Trophy players who can be voted on include:
* University of Southern California running back Marcus Allen

-
University of Michigan wide receiver Desmond Howard

Robert Griffin III is the first student-athlete from Baylor to win the Heisman Trophy, who also won the Davey O’Brien Award and was named the Associated Press College Football Player of the Year in 2011. In 2008, Griffin III was named the Big 12 Conference Offensive Freshman of the Year by the league’s coaches, while setting the school’s rushing yards record for a freshman and for a quarterback with 843 yards for the season.
