PASADENA, Calif. (May 9, 2024) A dedication of the statue celebrating college football's only two-time Heisman Trophy winner, Archie Griffin, will take place at the Rose Bowl Stadium on Saturday, August 17 at 11am. The event will be open to the public. Griffin, a member of the Rose Bowl Game® (1990) and College Football Hall of Fames (1986), is one of just two players ever to have started in four consecutive Rose Bowl Games® and won the Heisman Trophy in 1974 and 1975.  The 2024 college football season is the 50th anniversary of Griffin's first Heisman Trophy award.Â
As previously announced by America's Stadium, a Legends Walk will also be created adjacent to the Griffin statue in the Stadium's Court of Champions, to highlight and educate visitors on the 19 Heisman Trophy winners that have played in the Rose Bowl Game® up to the current day. Led by Griffin's four appearances in Pasadena, student-athletes from schools such as UCLA, Wisconsin, Oregon, Oklahoma, USC, Michigan and more will be represented in the neighboring Legends Walk.Â
