Les Horvath (born
October 12,
1921; died
November 14,
1995) was the
1944 Heisman Trophy winner, who played
quarterback and
halfback for the
Ohio State University. He was born in
South Bend, Indiana and raised in the
Cleveland, Ohio area.
Horvath played for the Buckeyes in 1940, 1941, 1942 and 1944. He had already graduated with a
bachelor's degree after the 1942 season. While studying
dentistry in
graduate school,
head coach Carroll Widdoes asked Horvath to come back to the team for the 1944 season because of the manpower shortage caused by
World War II and the rules at the time permitted a fourth year of eligibility because of the war.
After graduating from dental school in 1945, he joined the
United States Navy as an
ensign and served until he was discharged in July of 1947. He played professional
football for three seasons from 1947 to 1949 for the Los Angeles Rams (now,
St. Louis Rams) and the
Cleveland Browns. He then became a practicing dentist in the
Los Angeles Area.
