New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush isn’t waiting on the Heisman Trophy Trust to rule on whether it will take back the award he won in 2005 as a member of the USC football team.
The Associated PressReggie Bush said he will forfeit his Heisman Trophy.
In a statement released by the Saints on Tuesday afternoon, Bush said he plans on giving back the Heisman Trophy.
Here is his statement:
“One of the greatest honors of my life was winning the Heisman Trophy in 2005. For me, it was a dream come true.
But I know that the Heisman is not mine alone. Far from it. I know that my victory was made possible by the discipline and hard work of my teammates, the steady guidance of my coaches, the inspiration of the fans, and the unconditional love of my family and friends. And I know that any young man fortunate enough to win the Heisman enters into a family of sorts. Each individual carries the legacy of the award and each one is entrusted with its good name.
