Honors
Harley was among the first induction class of the Ohio State Varsity O Hall of Fame in 1977.
Ohio State began honoring players by retiring their numbers in 1999. Jersey numbers were more fluid in Harley's era, changing from game to game, but the University decided to honor Harley by retiring the final number he wore for Ohio State, #47. The ceremony was held at halftime of a game on October 30, 2004. Ironically, that number was worn by Harley in the only collegiate game he lost. Many believe it would have been more appropriate to retire #10, which was the number Harley wore while defeating Michigan.
To this day, East High School still plays on the same field that Harley played on in the 1910s, which has been named Harley Field in his honor.
The Chic Harley Award is presented by the Touchdown Club of Columbus to the College Football Player of the Year.
