Many automakers say that their vehicles are ideal for road trips, but Nissan backs those claims with proof! Nissan's vehicles are stars alongside football legends in a series called "Heisman House," which involves an iconic cast of football players embarking on a road trip. This year's Heisman House series includes a new journey for Nissan's vehicles, an updated plot, and several new cast members to create the most enticing series to date.
Heisman House
The Heisman House series is broadcast to run at the same time as the US college football season. The first episode for 2025 began in late August, and it includes several different campaign spots. The first, called "Launch Inspector," features Travis Hunter, who is new to the series. In this initial campaign, Hunter arrives at the Heisman House, but the group is forced to leave with the announcement of a surprise home inspection. This first campaign sets the scene for the remainder of the season, as it marks the football players' launch on the road. Together, they set off on an epic road trip that takes them through campgrounds, long highway stretches, weather events, and more until they reach their ultimate destination, which is a rival team's territory in Ohio. The second campaign begins when the group crosses the Ohio state line and ruffles feathers among their competitors with their arrival.
New Cast Members
Joining the star-studded lineup this year is Travis Hunter, who was the NFL's second draft pick. Hunter joins a legendary cast that includes Tim Tebow, Barry Sanders, Gino Torretta, Jayden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, and Eddie George.
Nissan's Star Vehicles
Taking the team along for the adventure is an equally notable list of Nissan vehicles. The team uses several Nissan cars for their epic road adventure, including the Nissan Rogue, Nissan Frontier, and Nissan Pathfinder. The 2026 Nissan Leaf also makes an appearance this season, with its own claim to fame as the most budget-friendly EV on the US market.
The cast of Nissan vehicles joining the show is just as notable as the football icons. The Rogue is one of Nissan's most popular and recognizable SUVs. The Rogue was selected for its spacious cabin, while the Frontier was selected for its substantial towing capacity of 7,150 pounds. The Pathfinder carries the football team along quickly with its powerful V6 engine, while the 2026 Leaf highlights the EV's impressive range and reduced carbon footprint.
