The Downtown Athletic Club established the award in 1935 to honor "the most valuable college football player east of the Mississippi," It was given to University of Chicago halfback Jay Berwanger for the first time. After the club's athletic director, John Heisman, died in October 1936, the award was renamed in his honor and expanded to include players west of the Mississippi. Heisman was a football player, a head football, basketball, baseball coach, and an athletic director in college athletics.
