About Tom Harmon
Tom Harmon, Michigan's fabled 'Old 98,' was the most electrifying player in the country at the close of the 1930s. A halfback from 1938 through 1940, he was a two-time consensus All-American, led the nation in scoring in both 1939 and 1940, and finished with 33 touchdowns to break Red Grange's collegiate record. In his final game he tore through Ohio State with three rushing touchdowns, two touchdown passes, four extra points, and three interceptions in a 40-0 rout, and the Columbus crowd rose to give him a standing ovation. That season he brought Michigan its first Heisman Trophy. Harmon flew as a military pilot in World War II, surviving a bomber crash in the South American jungle and a shootdown over China, and earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart. After two seasons with the Los Angeles Rams he became one of the country's busiest sportscasters, and his son Mark Harmon became a television star. He entered the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954.
