Reviews

"Cory McCartney's The Heisman Trophy isn't a dry listing of facts but a living, breathing tribute to what makes the award so special. Well researched and flawlessly written. You will learn a lot. I know I did."
Tony Barnhart, SEC Network, Gridiron Now
"The story of the Heisman Trophy mirrors the story of college football, from humble beginnings to its high-dollar present. That history has been written by both the famous and the flawed. Cory McCartney carefully and entertainingly covers it all."
Ryan McGee, senior writer, ESPN The Magazine
"Understanding the origins of our institutions, and the reluctant characters that comprise them, is central to our ability to be inspired and achieve more. It brings greatness within reach of all who seek it in our daily lives. Cory McCartney has done a masterful job of unpacking the history of the Heisman Trophy while leaving its patina which adds to the value of college football's currency: TRAD
Spencer Tillman, sr. analyst, FOX Sports 1; CEO, Axiom Sports Productions
