No. 47 Chic Harley

Ohio State football lore is full of greats, icons and legends, but there is none more legendary than Chic Harley.

1916-17 & 1919
b. Sept. 15, 1894 (Chicago, IL)

  • Consensus First Team All-American (1916, 1917, 1919)
  • Conference Champion (1916, 1917)

Though he stood just 5-9 and weighed no more than 150 lbs., Harley was one of the most dominant players of his time.
