A TRIBUTE YEARS IN THE MAKING

For decades, fans, alumni, and historians have wondered when Ohio State would formally immortalize Archie Griffin on campus. While his name already adorns records, awards, and the hearts of millions, the absence of a permanent statue left an unfinished chapter in the university’s storied football history.

Now, with Griffin facing one of the greatest personal challenges of his life, the timing feels almost destined. The statue project, expected to be unveiled next year, will stand not just as a monument to his athletic greatness but as a symbol of courage and perseverance — qualities Griffin has embodied both on and off the field.
