Forgot one of the first and only one with a Time magazine cover:
Chris "Red" Cagle, went on to be an all-american with Army and would have won the heisman if they had it at the time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_...ican_football)
"Cagle first starred at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (then named Southwestern Louisiana Institute or SLI) from 1922 to 1925, where he earned a degree in arts and sciences.[2][3] In his career at Southwestern Louisiana, he scored 235 points from touchdowns, extra points and field goals, a school record that lasted until 1989. His time at Southwestern Louisiana has him placed among the all-time greats of early Southern football.[4] Besides being the football captain (1925), he also was a star in basketball and track and field sports at Southwestern Louisiana, where he received a degree in arts and sciences.

Cagle then played football for four years in the Army football team at the United States Military Academy, from 1926 to 1929, but did not graduate because he had secretly married in August 1928 in violation of academy rules. He was forced to resign in May 1930.[2][3] Known as the "Red Thunderbolt of West Point," he was an All-American halfback for the last three years.His longest runs were 75 yards against Yale, 1928; 70 yards against Ohio Wesleyan, and 65 yards against Yale, 1929. In four years at Army he scored 169 points, averaged 6.4 yards per attempt in rushing and 26.4 yards on kickoff returns.[citation needed] During the 1926 and 1927 Army football seasons, Cagle paired with Harry Wilson to form one of the greatest duo of halfbacks in college football history.[5]
As the team captain in 1929, he was featured on the September 23 cover of Time magazine of that same year. Cagle was noted for playing with the chin strap loose from his helmet, and sometimes without helmet. Sportswriters liked to refer to him as "Onward Christian" because of his ability to advance the ball. "
There You go, this is the Cagle trophy.
