As you know, the tradition for Ohio State’s marching band when performing script Ohio is that a sousaphone player will dot the I.
Over the course of the history of this act, a short list of Buckeye legends have had the opportunity to replace a band member in the famous setting which includes Earle Bruce, Jack Nicklaus and Woody Hayes.
You can now add 2-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin to that group, as it was announced on Thursday that he will dot the I during the season opening game against Akron.
Griffin has been a mainstay with the Ohio State athletic department, holding titles such as president and CEO of the alumni association, and assistant athletic director.

It’s quite an honor to be selected to dot the I, and it’s a long time coming for Griffin. We can wait to see him on the field once again.
