The Big 12 Conference has seen its fair share of Heisman Trophy winners over the years. Some of the winners happened prior to the formation of the Big 12, of course, they fall under the banner of the Big 8 and the SWC prior to 1996.
The Texas Longhorns have celebrated a pair of Heisman winners during that stretch. The Oklahoma Sooners have seen more success as of late with four different quarterbacks earning the distinction since 2003. In consecutive seasons (1977-78), a pair of running backs featured in the Red River Rivalry took home the trophy.
Those two aren’t the only teams to win the most prestigious individual honor in college football. Winners hail from the Baylor Bears, Oklahoma State Cowboys, and new conference members BYU Cougars and Houston Cougars who start play in 2023.
