Watch: Reggie Bush reveals new ‘Heisman House’ portrait

Reggie Bush was a Heisman Trophy-winning running back for USC in 2005, though for many years, the NCAA didn’t admit that.

It doesn’t seem like much in the NIL era where players can get paid millions. At the time, though, Bush was forced to vacate the 2005 Heisman trophy after an NCAA investigation concluded that USC had given him impermissible benefits — including cash and a rent-free home in San Diego.

That was a big deal in 2010 when the NCAA stripped Bush of the honor of being a Heisman winner, but it’s chump change in 2024.

“We are thrilled to welcome Reggie Bush back to the Heisman family in recognition of his collegiate accomplishments,” Michael Comerford, president of The Heisman Trophy Trust, said in April. “We considered the enormous changes in college athletics over the last several years in deciding that now is the right time to reinstate the Trophy for Reggie. We are so happy to welcome him back.”

Perhaps the greatest honor for Bush will be finally being part of the “Heisman House,” which has become a particularly hilarious set of commercials by Nissan.

In the latest edition, Bush can be seen putting up his Heisman portrait in the house:
