Heisman Trophy The Downtown Athletic Club formerly issued the Heisman Trophy, an annual event that recognizes the most outstanding player in National Collegiate Athletic Association college football. The Heisman Trophy was first awarded in 1935 and was renamed after former athletic director Heisman. The trophy itself is made out of cast bronze, measures tall by long by wide, and weighs . After the neighborhood around the Downtown Club was closed off following the September 11 attacks, and the club's subsequent bankruptcy, the Heisman Trophy ceremony was moved to numerous locations, including the Yale Club of New York City and Hilton New York, before moving to the Palladium Times Square in 2005. Since the club's bankruptcy, the trophy has been distributed by the Heisman Trust.
