Everybody loves Archie

Archie Griffin ’76 could have used his football fame to be anything. What he chose to be: himself, a Buckeye at heart. And that’s why we still adore him 50 years after he won his first Heisman. The Fall 2024 issue also highlighted entrepreneur Tovah Kaiser ’19, Ohio State’s Aphasia Initiative, alumni’s favorite music through the years and much more. 

On the cover of the fall 2024 edition of Ohio State Alumni Magazine, Archie Griffin, a 70-year-old Black man wearing glasses and an Ohio State jersey with his famous number—45, strikes the famous Heisman pose. He carries a football in his left hand and holds out his left as if warding off a defender. Also, his grin says he’s having fun.
