University of Alabama’s Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Bryce Young becomes a resident of Nissan’s “Heisman House.”
Nissan’s “Heisman House” advertising campaign returns for a 12th season, welcoming a college-level athlete into the fold for the first time. The latest Heisman Trophy winner, college football’s Bryce Young, joins past winners Tim Tebow, Devonta Smith, Kyler Murray, Desmond Howard, Barry Sanders, Baker Mayfield, Carson Palmer, Robert Griffin III, Charlie Ward, Derrick Henry and “The Head Ball Coach,” Steve Spurrier, for another season inside the legendary fraternity.
The 2022 campaign includes 10 spots focused on the naturally competitive nature of the athletes. Equally competitive fans are encouraged to join in for a series of “That’s How You Heisman” polls, quizzes and challenges on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram. The “That’s How You Heisman” spot highlights the 2023 Nissan Ariya, with Young arriving to the house in the all-electric crossover.
The Heisman House ads will run on TV across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, FOX, FS1, CBS, CBS Sports Network and during Monday Night Football on ESPN. More content will be available on Nissan and ESPN digital channels, including behind-the-scenes footage and bloopers from the shoot.
