Four-time Pro-Bowler enjoying success as landscape architecture firm owner Eddie George, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner who became a star running back for the Tennessee Titans and Dallas Cowboys, is relishing his new career as a landscape architect and owner of The EDGE Group, a successful firm with offices in Columbus, Ohio, and Nashville, Tennessee. He wants young people to consider landscape architecture as a great career that combines art with protecting the environment. "In 1992, when I came to Ohio State, I really wanted to get something out of my education, something that I had a passion for beyond football, preferably doing design work and being creative," says George. "Someone suggested that I try landscape architecture, so I took a course early that year and fell in love with it. At its essence, landscape architecture is about creating memorable places and coming up with creative solutions that are environmentally responsible and that bring our client's vision to life."
