Notre Dame, Ohio State, and USC each won 7 Heisman Trophies. However, because of controversy surrounding Reggie Bush, the 2005 winner from USC, he forfeited the award and it was left vacant, so USC now only have 6. Click on the 'Heisman Trophy Winners' link on this page to see a list of all winners of the Heisman.
4 - University of Minnesota, University of Minnesota Duluth 3 - Harvard 2 - Boston College, Bowling Green State University, Colorado College, Michigan State University, University of Maine, University of North Dakota 1 - Boston University, University of Denver, University of Michigan, University of New Hampshire
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.
