No. 20: Terry Baker's Heisman
When Terry Baker won the Heisman Trophy in 1962, he became the first football player west of Texas to win college football's most coveted award. He was also a first-team All-America selection on 11 teams, named Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated, won the Maxwell Award as the Outstanding Player in the Nation and the Helms Foundation Award as the Top Athlete in North America. Oregon State's current football media guide lists 25 other honors that came his way that year. In addition, he was captain of OSU's "Final Four" basketball team in 1963, one of the school's best-ever. Even though his achievements came during a time which now seems so long ago, honors for Terry Baker are unmatched in the history of OSU athletics and a huge source of pride for Beaver alumni. Few athletic events before or since have impacted the OSU sports scene like Terry Baker's Heisman.
