Game Used USC Trojans Rawlings HND-9 model helmet. The helmet was attributed to "Big George" Stewart, who after earning High School All-American honors, became a starting 17 year old freshman defensive tackle at USC on their National Championship team. The helmet is complete and original as sourced. The large shell is painted USC cardinal red. Original Rawlings HND-9 model padding along with original Rawlings leather jaw pads highlight the interior of this rare model helmet. There is faded writing on the crown - "Big George 90". There is also original athletic tape with the name "Stewart" on the inside left side of the helmet. The Schutt 1970s style NJOP model mask is secured to the helmet using reproduction clips but retaining its original hardware. A rare complete model of a Trojan legend, who's scholarship is given to the athlete who's character, determination, and quiet leadership best reflects the memory of Big George Stewart.
