Nissan welcomes Reggie into the Heisman House after much fan anticipation. The iconic football star is making his Heisman return in style with a series of new commercial spots.

After a long 11-year hiatus, EA SPORTS College Football 25 is back. Nissan is excited to collaborate with EA SPORTS as an official activation partner for the inaugural College Football 25 Nissan Heisman House Challenge. Launching in late October, players will be able to register for the chance to showcase their skills and compete virtually to win an all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks¹ and an honorary key² to the Heisman House. The Tournament will also bring to life the grand prize-winning Nissan Kicks as it drives around on the stadium’s digital banners and Jumbotron. Fans can tune in to watch the Live Finals of the College Football 25 Heisman House Challenge on EA SPORTS Twitch and YouTube live streams in early December.

“Heisman House is more than just a campaign; it's become a part of culture, woven into the fabric of people's hearts, and something they eagerly anticipate each year," said Marisstella Marinkovic, Nissan U.S. vice president and chief marketing officer. “This year is extra special as we welcome Reggie Bush to the house and other Heisman greats alongside our award-winning Nissan lineup. I promise you all the laughs and special moments Heisman House is known for.”
