It is no surprise to TCU students that Trevone Boykin is a front-runner to receive the Heisman Trophy this year. What may be less well known is that Josh Doctson has joined him on the list of nominees, and with his continuously incredible performances, will have no problem catching up to his teammate in the rankings.

This past weekend, TCU celebrated Homecoming with a game against the University of Texas. The weekend was complete with festivities like a birthday party for Superfrog and FrogFest, but the main attraction was the Nissan Heisman House. After two days of construction, it opened its doors on Oct. 2 to a crowd of students and visitors from both TCU and UT. Hosted by ESPN sportscaster Neil Everett, visitors were able to meet-and-greet with two former TCU football players who had stellar careers during their time at TCU. LaDainian Tomlinson and Jake Kirkpatrick experienced their own kind of homecoming when they returned to their alma mater to meet the masses this weekend. Visitors were also able to have their picture taken with the trophy.

The Heisman Trophy was first awarded in 1935, but it wasn't until the following year that it was given the name to honor John W. Heisman, who was a legendary player and coach. In its 79 years, only one TCU athlete has received the trophy: Davey O'Brien. In 1938, O'Brien was the senior quarterback under the coaching of Dutch Meyer. He led this team to an undefeated season and a national championship title. At 5'7" and 151 pounds, he remains the smallest player to ever win the Heisman.

After last year's incredible performance by our Horned Frogs and the possibilities this season holds, TCU's chances to bring the trophy home are pretty great. Both Boykin and Doctson have already had outstanding performances this season and promise to bring more passion and excitement to the field. So let's show them how excited we are, too.
