As most of the above answers are wrong, save 1, no underclassmen (freshman or sophomore) has ever been awarded the trophy.
16 juniors have been awarded the trophy since its inception in 1935, including the last 3.

Yes, in fact the last three winners have been underclassmen -- Reggie Bush (USC), Matt Leinart (USC) and Jason White (Oklahoma). Doc Blanchard of Army was the first underclassman to win in 1945. Other notable underclassmen winners were Desmond Howard, Barry Sanders, Herschel Walker, and Roger Staubach.
No freshman or sophmore has ever won the Heisman Trophy.

Nope. The award has never been won by an underclassman (freshman or sophomore).

Yes, every so often. Matt Leinart won it as a junior. And Archie Griffin won it twice - he's the only person to have ever done that.

not sure, but if you ask my neighbor he seems to act like he won it, although he was like 3rd string at a crappy college
