Reggie Bush famously had his 2005 Heisman Trophy stripped from him after an investigation revealed that he received ‘improper benefits’ during his time at USC.

Now, Reggie wants his Heisman back.

“Over the last few months, on multiple occasions, my team and I have reached out to both the NCAA and The Heisman Trust in regard to the reinstatement of my college records and the return of my Heisman,” he said in a statement. “It is my strong belief that I won the Heisman trophy ‘solely’ due to my hard work and dedication on the football field and it is also my firm belief that my records should be reinstated.”
