In December 1935, Chicago halfback Jay Berwanger became the first recipient of a trophy from the Downtown Athletic Club intended to honor "the most valuable player east of the Mississippi."[3] John Heisman was then the club's athletic director,[4] and after Heisman's death in October 1936 the trophy was expanded to become a national honor and named the Heisman Trophy.[5]
