Arguably the best college football player of all time, Reggie Bush, lost his Heisman trophy in 2010, after reports came out that he accepted "improper benefits" while playing at USC. To point out, this was met with much controversy as his on-the-field play ultimately had no correlation with him receiving gifts.
That is to say, back earlier this year in April, Bush had his Heisman trophy returned, and as a result he now finds himself joining the rest of the former winners in the "Heisman House" commercials.

After fighting over a decade to get his trophy back, Bush now is welcomed by the Heisman family, that includes names such as his former USC teammate Matt Leinart, Tim Tebow, Baker Mayfield, Robert Griffin III, Desmond Howard, Mark Ingram, and Barry Sanders.

Bush has shared a video on X, where he was seen hanging his portrait in the halls of the Heisman House, as part of the Nissan advertisement.

"Personally, I'm thrilled to reunite with my fellow Heisman winners and be a part of the storied legacy of the Heisman Trophy, and I'm honored to return to the Heisman family," Bush said to ESPN in April. "I also look forward to working together with the Heisman Trust to advance the values and mission of the organization."
Notably, during Bush's 2005 Heisman season, the USC running back rushed for 1,740 yards (8.7 yards per carry) along with 18 total touchdowns. Furthermore, in his role as a pass catcher and return man, he contributed a total of 2,890 all-purpose yards.
