- Alexander Arrasi Agase (March 27, 1922 – May 3, 2007) was an American football player and coach. Agase was born in Evanston, Illinois to an Assyrian father and an Armenian mother. He graduated from Evanston Township High School in Evanston, Illinois. Agase played college football at the University of Illinois and Purdue University. Agase starred as a guard for Illinois in 1941 and 1942. In a 1942 game against the University of Minnesota, Agase scored two touchdowns for the Fighting Illini, becoming only the second guard in college football to score two touchdowns in a single game. That year, Agase was named All-American for the first time. In 1943, Agase played at Purdue while a Marine trainee, and was again named All-American. In 1944 and 1945, Agase served on active duty in World War II, including participating in the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa where he received a Purple Heart for being wounded in action. He returned to Illinois in 1946 and was again named All-American, and also received the Chicago Tribune Silver Football as the Most Valuable Player of the Big Ten Conference. Agase moved to professional football, playing six seasons between 1947 and 1953. Three of Agase's teams with the Cleveland Browns won championships. After his playing career ended, Agase moved into coaching. Agase served as the head coach for Northwestern University from 1964 to 1972. In 1970, Agase was named the national coach of the year by the Football Writers Association. In 1973, Agase became the head coach at Purdue, one of the two schools for which he played, and coached through the 1976 season. Agase became the athletic director at Eastern Michigan University in 1977, and served in that role until 1981. Agase later remained active in college football by assisting Bo Schembechler as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Michigan. Agase's outstanding play continued to be honored long after his playing career ended. Agase was named to the Walter Camp Foundation all-century team in 1989 and the University of Illinois all-century team in 1990. Agase was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1963.

- Alexander Arrasi Agase (March 27, 1922 – May 3, 2007) was an American football guard and linebacker who was named an All-American three times in college and played on three Cleveland Browns championship teams before becoming head football coach at Northwestern University and Purdue University. Agase grew up in Illinois and attended the University of Illinois, where he was a standout as a guard starting in 1941. He was named an All-American in 1942. Agase then entered the U.S. Marines during World War II and played a season at Purdue while in training. He was again named an All-American in 1943. After his discharge from the Marines, he came back to Illinois and played a final season in 1946, after which he was named an All-American for a third time. Agase began his professional football career with the Los Angeles Dons of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC) in 1947, but was soon traded to the Chicago Rockets and then the Browns, where he remained until 1952. Cleveland won two AAFC championships and one National Football League championship while Agase was on the team. After retiring from football, Agase was worked as an assistant coach for the Dallas Texans and, after a brief return to playing for the Baltimore Colts, Iowa State University. He was hired as an assistant at Northwestern in 1956 under head coach Ara Parseghian. Agase remained as an assistant until Parseghian left to coach at Notre Dame in 1963 and he was named the new head coach. Agase guided the Northwestern Wildcats to a 32–58–1 win-loss-tie record in nine seasons. He was named coach of the year by the Football Writers Association of America after guiding the team to a 6–4 record in 1970. Agase left to coach at Purdue in 1972, but none of his teams posted a winning record there, and he was fired in 1977. He then spent six years as athletic director at Eastern Michigan University before retiring. Agase died in 2007. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1963.
