🏈 Charles White USC Trojans Autographed Maroon College Football Jersey — JSA Authenticated — Los Angeles, California — 1979 Heisman Trophy Winner — USC Trojans Legend — Rose Bowl Champion — Cleveland Browns 1st Round Pick 1980 — James Spence Authentication Certified

🏈 The USC Trojans maroon football jersey is one of the most storied uniforms in the history of college football — the uniform of a program that has produced Heisman Trophy winners, NFL stars, and generations of players who defined what elite college football looked like on the West Coast across decades of Pac-10 and Pac-12 competition. Charles White, the running back from Los Angeles, California, who won the 1979 Heisman Trophy and became one of the defining players in USC history, signed this maroon Trojans college football jersey, authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA). It is the uniform of his championship season — the season that produced both the Heisman and a Rose Bowl title for the Trojans. Condition: NOS.

🌟 Los Angeles, California — San Fernando High School — The Trojan Running Back

Charles White was born on January 22, 1958, in Los Angeles, California, and graduated from San Fernando High School before coming to USC as a running back whose vision, burst, and hard-nosed running style made him one of the most effective players in the history of the Trojans program. His college career at USC produced some of the most impressive single-season rushing numbers in program history, and by the time his senior year was complete, he had finished as the NCAA's second-leading rusher ever with 5,598 regular season yards — an honor confirmed by the Heisman Trophy voters who gave him the award in 1979 along with the Maxwell Award, the Walter Camp Award, and UPI Player of the Year. Condition: NOS.

🏆 1979 Heisman Trophy — The USC Legacy

Charles White won the 1979 Heisman Trophy — the sport's most prestigious individual award — as USC's third Heisman winner, on the strength of a senior season that produced dominant rushing statistics and that confirmed his status as the best player in college football regardless of position or conference. His Heisman came alongside a Rose Bowl championship — a 1980 Rose Bowl victory over Ohio State in which White was the dominant offensive player on the field. Condition: NOS.

Cleveland Browns — 1st Round — 1980 NFL Draft

Charles White's Heisman Trophy and USC career translated directly to the first round of the 1980 NFL Draft, where the Cleveland Browns selected him 27th overall — a franchise investment in a running back whose college production suggested star-level potential at the professional level. His NFL career with the Browns and later the Los Angeles Rams kept him in the professional spotlight, and his legacy as a USC Trojan and 1979 Heisman winner has only grown in the years since. Charles White passed away in January 2023 at age 64, and his autographed pieces carry the added significance of a signature from a USC legend no longer able to sign. Condition: NOS.
