    2024-08-28

    Former USC great Reggie Bush was given back his Heisman Trophy back in April, and now, he’s officially back in the Heisman House as well.

    Bush posted a video on his X account on Tuesday of himself hanging a self-portrait next to 1987 winner Billy Sims.

    Bush was nothing short of dominant during his Heisman Trophy-winning season in 2005. He rushed for 1,740 yards and 16 touchdowns, he caught 37 passes for 478 yards and two more touchdowns, and he returned 28 kicks for 493 yards and 18 punts for 179 yards and a touchdown.

    Bush was also named the AP College Football Player of the Year and won the Doak Walker Award, Walter Camp Award and Jim Brown Trophy in 2005.

    During his time at USC, Bush was one of the best college football players of his era. He was a two-time national champion, consensus All-America, Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All-Pac-10.

    The former No. 2 overall pick was stripped of his Heisman in 2010 as part of USC’s punishment for Bush receiving improper benefits from a sports agent while he played for the Trojans football program.

    With the ever-changing landscape of college football and players now getting compensated for their name, image and likeness, the Heisman Trust righted its wrong and gave Bush back his award. His physical trophy is back at the USC football facility.
