Members of New York’s Downtown Athletic Club’s Heisman Trophy® Committee helped Wendy’s create the Wendy’s High School Heisman Program—the only other program to be associated with the Heisman name. Each year, the Heisman Trophy Trust awards the Heisman Memorial Trophy® to the most outstanding college football player in the United States.
