Reggie Bush’s retrieval of his Heisman Trophy can be attributed to a encounter at Rob Gronkowski’s Super Bowl party, where he bumped into his attorney Levi McCathern. McCathern fought tirelessly to ensure the prestigious award returned to its rightful owner. Alongside McCathern and Ben Crump, Bush faced the press at The Coliseum in Los Angeles, breaking their silence on the trophy’s reinstatement. The 2005 Heisman recipient expressed deep gratitude for being reunited with his trophy, underscoring his unwavering commitment to the game and his relentless efforts to excel, aiming to bolster the Trojans’ bid for a national championship.

Reggie Bush has officially regained possession of his 2005 Heisman Trophy, following the announcement by the Heisman Trust on Wednesday of its formal “reinstatement” to Bush. This decision was prompted by what the Trust termed “significant shifts in the college football landscape.”

The Heisman Trust’s ruling comes after Bush voluntarily forfeited his Heisman Trophy in 2010 in response to substantial NCAA sanctions against USC. These penalties were a result of Bush’s involvement in receiving improper benefits during his time with the Trojans from 2003 to 2005.

In conjunction with the decision, the Heisman Trust will return the original Heisman Trophy to Bush and provide a replica to USC. Moreover, Bush will receive invitations to attend all future Heisman Trophy ceremonies, beginning with the 2024 season.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Bush remarked to ESPN, “I am excited to reconnect with my fellow Heisman recipients and contribute to the enduring legacy of the Heisman Trophy. It is a privilege to once again be part of the Heisman family, and I eagerly anticipate collaborating with the Heisman Trust to further its values and objectives.”
