Howard "Hopalong" Cassady, the 1955 Heisman Trophy winner from Ohio State who after his football career worked more than 30 years for the New York Yankees organization, has died at the age of 85.
According to Ohio State, Cassady died early Friday morning in Tampa, Florida.
Cassady starred as a halfback for the Buckeyes from 1952 to 1955 and won the Heisman as a senior by the largest margin at that time. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1979 and is also enshrined in the Ohio State Athletics and Columbus (Ohio) Baseball halls of fame.
