List of NCAA football retired numbers

Teams in theNational Collegiate Athletic Association(NCAA)retirejersey numbers of players who either are considered by the team to have made significant contributions to that team's success, or who have experienced untimelydeaths during their playing career.As with other leagues, once a team retires a player's jersey number, it never issues the number to any other player, unless the player or team explicitly allows it.

History

edit

Since NCAA teams began retiring numbers, many players have had their jersey number retired.Pittsburghhave the most retired numbers with 10. Unlike professional leagues, no one player has had his number retired by two teams.

Unlike major sports leagues in the United States such asMLB(which retiredJackie Robinson's number 42) and theNHL(which did so forWayne Gretzky's 99), the NCAA has never retired a jersey number league-wide in honor of anyone.

Nevertheless, there are some cases of retirement of a same number honoring two different players, such asHouston,which retired number 7 worn byDavid KlinglerandCase Keenum,among other similar cases.

Moreover,Michiganretired a number for three players, the #11 in honor of the Wistert brothers.[1]The same didBrigham Young University(BYU), retiring number 6 for three different footballers,Marc Wilson,Robbie Bosco,andLuke Staley.[2]

Since 2005,Syracuseholds the record of players honored with a number retirement after the University retired no. 44 worn by 25 different players between 1921 and 1998.

There are also some strange cases such asUCLAretiring #42 forJackie Robinson;although he wore No. 28 for the football team; the school chose to retire No. 42 because it was more identified with him after Robinson wore that number throughout hisHall of Famebaseball career with theBrooklyn Dodgers.[3][4]
