At the end of each college football regular season, the Heisman Trophy is awarded to the sport’s most outstanding player. But a few schools have produced more winners than everyone else.

In fact, there’s a four-way tie at the top for most Heisman winners in history: Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma and USC — the latter being the most recent school to tie the record thanks to Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams winning in 2022.

College football’s most sought-after individual award has been given to players from those schools seven times each. However, the Sooners have the advantage when it comes to more recent winners.

Here’s a breakdown of the programs with at least two Heisman Trophy winners in the past, starting with the Fighting Irish, the Buckeyes, the Sooners and the Trojans.
