As part of BYU football media day announcements, the school announced that football jersey #6 will be retired to honor three players. Those players and quarterbacks Marc Wilson and Robbie Bosco, along with running back Luke Staley.
All three players are considered BYU legends, so the news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. The number becomes the sixth jersey or number retired for BYU football. Eldon Fortie (#40), Marion Probert (#81), Steve Young (#8), Jim Mcmahon (#9) and Gifford Nielsen and Ty Detmer (#14) are the others.
The ceremony for #6 will take place during the Wisconsin game on Sept.
