Williams also won the Maxwell Award and the Walter Camp Player of the Year that season, and became the first-ever two-time winner of the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back. For collectors, the gold Heisman-logo helmet is a direct tribute to the moment Williams joined the most exclusive fraternity in college football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe NCAA's All-Time Leading Rusher\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliams' Heisman season also produced one of the most iconic record-breaking moments in college football history. \u003cstrong\u003eOn November 27, 1998, against archrival Texas A\u0026amp;M, Williams broke Tony Dorsett's 22-year-old NCAA Division I-A career rushing record on a 60-yard touchdown run — with Dorsett himself waiting on the Texas sideline to personally congratulate him.\u003c\/strong\u003e He finished his Longhorns career (1995-1998) as the most prolific rusher in major college football history, with 6,279 career rushing yards, 75 total touchdowns, and a then-NCAA-record 6.21 career yards per carry, surpassing the mark held by Ohio State's two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin. In all, Williams set 21 NCAA records and 46 University of Texas marks. Texas retired his #34 jersey in 2000, and he was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Selected fifth overall in the 1999 NFL Draft, Williams went on to lead the NFL in rushing in 2002 — but his legendary Texas tenure and the 1998 Heisman season remain the foundation of his football legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eJSA Witnessed Authentication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis helmet has been certified authentic by \u003cstrong\u003eJames Spence Authentication (JSA)\u003c\/strong\u003e through their \u003cstrong\u003eWitnessed\u003c\/strong\u003e service — a JSA representative was physically present during the signing and observed the signature being applied to the helmet.
