The Oregon State winner was the first winner west of the Mississippi, later led the basketball team to the Final 4 that spring, and then led the last college all-star football team that beat the NFL champion, when they did such things.  And yes, he was the #1 pick in the NFL draft. 

Dude was a baller.
First winner west of the Mississippi???  Do you mean west of the Rockies?

Aflac Trivia Question:  How many teams in CFB have a nickname that doesn't end with an "S".  No cheating.

Yes you can add Indiana's Fernando Mendoza to the list of Heisman winners.    I am just going to assume that's Indiana's first and only Heisman winner.
