100% of Indiana’s.

It’s the new norm.

How many schools have a murdering scumbag on the majority of their national titles?

To OU's credit, Williams had one leaving OU to USC. OU involved with a lot of Heisman material one way or another.

Transfer portal didn't exist when Mayfield and Murray transferred. They both had to sit out a year per the old rule. Both came to OU after their freshman season at Tech and A&M.

The transfer portal was implemented the year that Hurts came to OU (2019)... but he came as a grad transfer... which had been in place for a few years prior to 2019

I think the last 7 of 10 winners were transfers.

Same with Burrow. Graduated with a finance degree from Ohio State, which allowed him to be immediately eligible after transferring. Also earned a Master’s from LSU while in Baton Rouge.

Today I learned Joe Burrow came from the transfer portal before it existed. Mother fricker is from the future!

So was Joe Burrow. Nice of you to point out this thread is factually incorrect

That isn't the majority of OU's Heisman winners, and as was pointed out, none of them came from the portal, though the two mentioned were transfers.

Probably more than you think, but notably Hernandez was only on 1/3, which is not a majority.
