Joining the elite Heisman Trophy fraternity is exclusive enough, but Alabama’s Derrick Henry has the opportunity to join even more rarified air should he wrap up a very special season by adding a national championship.

Henry, the bruising tailback who will lead the Crimson Tide into Monday’s national championship game against undefeated and top-ranked Clemson, is aiming to become just the 17th player to accomplish the rare double (though some shared a title).

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was the last to do so, capturing the Heisman en route to leading the Seminoles to the 2013 national championship. Alabama’s Mark Ingram (2009) and Auburn’s Cam Newton (2010) had previously done likewise.

All three recent Heisman winners came up big in the national championship game much like they did during the regular season to complete their unforgettable campaigns.

History, however, has shown overall that Heisman winners rarely win the national championship.

Here’s a list of the players who have won both the Heisman Trophy and the national championship in the same season.

1. Texas Christian QB Davey O’Brien (Heisman 1938, 11-0): O’Brien completed 110 of 194 passes for 1,733 yards and 19 touchdowns to claim the award, the first to go to a player from the Southwestern Conference. The Davey O’Brien Award, the annual award that goes to the nation’s best quarterback is named in his honor.

2. Minnesota RB Bruce Smith (Heisman 1941, 8-0): Smith scored touchdowns to cap comebacks in victories over Ohio State, Michigan and Nebraska to pace the Golden Gophers to the national championship.

3. Georgia QB Frank Sinkwich (Heisman 1942, 11-1): Sinkwich totaled 382 combined rushing and passing yards in the Orange Bowl to lift the Bulldogs to a share of the national title.

4. Notre Dame QB Angelo Bertelli (Heisman 1943, 9-1): Bertelli won the Heisman after finishing second behind Smith in 1941 and sixth behind Georgia’s Frank Sinkwich in 1942. Bertelli joined the U.S Marine Corps shortly after winning the award and served with distinction in battles at Iwo Jima and Guam.

5. Army FB Felix “Doc” Blanchard (Heisman 1945, 9-0): Blanchard was Mr. Inside to the 1946 winner Glenn Davis’ Mr. Outside and the first underclassman to win the award.

6. Army TB Glenn Davis (Heisman 1946, 9-0-1): Rushed for 712 yards and 13 touchdowns while catching 20 passes for 348 yards and passing for 396 yards and four scores.

7. Notre Dame QB John Lujack (Heisman 1947, 9-0): Won 24 games in his three years as the starting quarterback for the Irish after returning from military service from 1944-45. He was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

8. Notre Dame TE Leon Hart (Heisman 1949, 8-0-1): Hart caught 19 passes for 257 yards and five touchdowns, rushed 18 times for 73 yards and recovered three fumbles on defense. He never lost a game as a member of the Fighting Irish.

9. Pittsburgh RB Tony Dorsett (Heisman 1976, 12-0): Dorsett set the NCAA career rushing record, a mark that would stand for three decades until broken by Texas’ Ricky Williams in 1998. Dorsett was the first player to win college football’s national championship as a senior and the Super Bowl as an NFL rookie.

10. Florida State QB Charlie Ward (Heisman 1993, 12-1): Was the triggerman on a prolific Seminoles offense that led the nation (41.2 points per game). A two-sport star, Ward was a first-round draft by the NBA’s New York Knicks and never played in the NFL.

11. Florida QB Danny Wuerffel (Heisman 1996, 12-1): Wuerffel threw for a then-SEC record 3,625 yards as a senior while directing coach Steve Spurrier’s “Fun’n Gun” offense.

12. Michigan CB/WR Charles Woodson (Heisman 1997, 12-0): Woodson was the first and only true defensive player to win the Heisman, although he did take some snaps at receiver for the Wolverines.

13. Southern California QB Matt Leinart (Heisman 2004, 11-0 later vacated): Leinart was a junior when he led the Trojans to their second consecutive national championship after sharing the 2003 title with LSU. He threw five touchdown passes in USC’s 55-19 blitz of Oklahoma in the 2004 title game.

14. Alabama RB Mark Ingram (Heisman 2009, 14-0): Rushed for 1,542 yards and 15 touchdowns as a sophomore while catching 30 passes for 322 yards and three more scores to become the first Crimson Tide player to win the Heisman Trophy. Ingram chewed up 116 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries to lead the Crimson Tide past Texas in the BCS National Championship Game.

15. Auburn QB Cam Newton (Heisman 2010, 14-0): The junior college transfer threw for 2,589 yards and 28 touchdowns with just six interceptions, while rushing for 1,409 yards and 20 more scores to lead the Tigers to the national championship. Newton passed for 265 yards and two touchdowns to pace the Tigers past Oregon in the BCS National Championship Game.

16. Florida State QB Jameis Winston (Heisman 2013, 14-0): Became the first redshirt freshman to win a Heisman and the national championship the same season after throwing for 3,820 yards and 38 touchdowns with just 10 interceptions. Winston was the MVP of the national championship game after completing 20 of 35 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns against Auburn to fuel Florida State’s rally from an early 18-point deficit.

Heisman jinx

Not all Heisman Trophy winners were as fortunate. Here’s a list of recent ones who lost in the national championship game.

Florida State QB Chris Weinke (Heisman 2000): Went 25 of 51 with no touchdowns, two interceptions and a lost fumble as the Seminoles lost, 13-2, to Oklahoma and quarterback Josh Heupel, the Heisman runner-up who went 25 of 39 for 214 yards.

Nebraska QB Eric Crouch (Heisman 2001): Ran for 114 yards, but completed just 5 of 15 passes as the Cornhuskers lost to Miami 37-14.

Southern California RB Reggie Bush (Heisman 2005, later vacated): Texas QB Vince Young delivered a game of the ages as the Longhorns upset the favored Trojans in one of the most memorable national championship games ever played.

Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford (Heisman 2008): Bradford completed 26 of 41 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions as the Sooners fell to Tim Tebow-led Florida, 24-14. Tebow, who had won the Heisman in 2007, finished third in the voting that season.

Oregon QB Marcus Mariota (Heisman 2014): The Ducks’ first Heisman Trophy winner completed 24 of 37 passes for 333 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, but Ohio State proved too much in winning the first College Football Playoff national championship game 42-20.
