The day after the Heisman Trust announced that Reggie Bush is getting his Heisman Trophy back, the former USC football star will hold a news conference.
, the former USC football star on Thursday will hold a news conference at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum to discuss the "reinstatement."
Bush won the trophy awarded to the top player in college football after amassing 2,218 yards from scrimmage and scoring 18 touchdowns in 2005. His 784 first-place votes were the fifth most in Heisman history, and the trophy was a crowning achievement for Bush after three seasons at USC as one of the most dynamic college football players in decades.
"What a historic day!" said USC coach Lincoln Riley, who coached Caleb Williams to the school's most recent Heisman in 2022. "Reggie's reintroduction to the Heisman Family is a special moment for every person that has been associated with USC football. We are thrilled that Reggie's athletic accomplishments as one of the greatest to ever play the game can officially be recognized.
USC was even required to "disassociate" from Bush for 10 years following the NCAA's decision. The school immediately ended its disassociation when that period ended in June 2020, welcoming Bush back to the school. Public opinion has long favored the return of Bush's trophy. Johnny Manziel, the 2012 Heisman winner from Texas A&M, said on social media last month that he would not participate in Heisman festivities unless Bush got his trophy back.
