Authenticated and certified by James Spence Authentication (JSA), this signed Texas Longhorns mini helmet is the collectible of the running back who made Austin understand what a Heisman Trophy season could look like.

By the time Williams had finished his Texas career, he had broken Tony Dorsett's NCAA career rushing record, which had stood since 1977 — the same year Williams was born — and had accumulated the statistics that made the 1998 Heisman Trophy vote a formality. The burnt orange helmet with the Longhorn logo that he wore across those four seasons is the visual signature of a college football era in Austin that Williams' senior season brought to its peak.

He carried 361 times for 2,124 yards and 27 touchdowns in his senior season — numbers that combined with his career total of 6,279 yards to break Tony Dorsett's all-time NCAA career rushing record. When he was announced as the 1998 Heisman Trophy winner, he received it wearing his cowboy hat, in a moment that became one of the most memorable in the award ceremony's history. The mini helmet he signed is the scaled collector's version of the Longhorns burnt orange shell he wore across every carry of that record-setting career. JSA COA.
