TV: Desmond Howard
In person: Wurffel but that was the year before he won it.
Saw Jason White right after he won it in the 2003 BCSCG

For some reason haven't seen a lot of Heisman winners in TS, in part due to a relatively lower pct for SEC, and also just happenstance I guess (missed Tebow, etc.)
Covered a few Knicks at Mavs games late in Charlie Ward's time with NY. Remember talking about him being the Heisman winner when they were warming up before a game. Those were bad teams, led by Allen Houston & Latrell Sprewell.

I probably saw eventual Heisman winners in the early to mid 90's, but wasn't aware of it, because I really didn't care outside of LSU, at that age. But the first one I remember watching was Ricky Williams. And I was a Saints fan in those days, when I still gave a crap about the NFL, and wanted the Saints to draft him SO badly. I was elated when it actually happened.
... But that was before I realized how steep the cost was to get him. I didn't have ESPN at the time, and was temporarily blissfully unaware that it was one of the dumbest draft trades in history.
He was fun to watch, though, after a pretty boring rookie season.

I remember people before Reggie Bush, but he was the first one that comes to mind that I actually watched and payed attention to. A few before him I would casually hear about but didn’t pay attention.
The NCAA is still so lame for taking away his Heisman, and I say that as someone who hated USC around the time he was there because of the split national title.

Sorry, yes John not Gino. Sorry, I wasn't impressed.

And Penn State beat LSU n the Orange Bowl. So tell that to Joey.

Seen Weurffel, Tebow, Cam, Reggie, Leinart, Jameis, Henry, Burrow, Ingram, and Palmer in my day. I guess obviously Weurff was the first.

Reggie Bush
Eta: nevermind. He was just first to come to mind. I remember crouch winning it because of his red socks he always wore

I remember liking Mike Rozier, but I don’t remember specifics about his campaign. I distinctly remember fanboying Flutie the next year.

Billy cannon.
besides football I was fascinated with his being a track star. from age 10 I was into track. milers. pole vaulters.
and the 100.
he was from Sulphur and I was in lake charles. our media covered him.
I followed him at houston as rb more than raiders TE.
