Currently Notre Dame and USC are tied at 7, if you count Reggie Bush's award, which the school and Reggie agreed to return. If you do not count Reggie Bush, then Notre Dame is all alone at the top with 7. Note that the Heisman Trust does not list a winner for 2005 (when Bush original got the award). Ohio State has 7 awards, but Archie Griffin got it twice, so they only have 6 different people who have won the award.
