I remember the day during my freshman year at Wagner College when my roommate and I bypassed the crowded dorm elevator to sprint up nine flights of steps to our room in order to catch the live airing of the O.J. Simpson verdict on TV.

More than a decade later, O.J. Simpson is heading to court yet again in a highly publicized trial, this time to face robbery and kidnapping charges.

One would think that after getting acquitted from double murder charges, “The Juice” would have gone to live on some obscure little island somewhere and stay out of the news. Instead, it seems that the Heisman Trophy® winner of 1968 just can’t stay out of trouble.

While USC has undoubtedly by now disowned the former running back as one of its star alums, it has six other Heisman winners of whom to be proud. No wonder USC remains a top choice for NFL hopefuls.

1965  Mike Garrett
1979 Charles White
1981 Marcus Allen
2002 Carson Palmer
2004 Matt Leinart
2005 Reggie Bush

Don’t forget about Ohio State, Florida, and Florida State; they have each had multiple Heisman winners during the past 20 years.
