How much does the Heisman Trophy weigh?

Perhaps the most recognizable hardware in sports is the Heisman Memorial Trophy, awarded each season to college football’s most outstanding player.

The bronze trophy, made using the “lost wax” process, shows a player carrying a soccer ball in his left hand and extending his right arm to fend off defenders with his stiff arm.

New York’s Downtown Athletic Club, which presented the Heisman Trophy for 66 years, commissioned Frank Eliscu to design the trophy, using New York University running back Ed Smith as a model.

The lost wax casting process essentially takes a duplicate sculpture, in this case a bronze sculpture, and pours liquefied materials over the model.

The finished trophy weighs 45 pounds and is 14 inches long, 13 inches high and 6 inches wide. Since 2005, MTM Recognition, a Del City, Oklahoma company, has manufactured the Heisman and shipped the trophy to New York before the ceremony. The trophy is accompanied by a generic nameplate which will be replaced after the winner is announced and before the press conference later that evening.

There are two Heisman trophies awarded: one goes to the player and another to the player’s school.
