Auburn University AD John Cohen made the decision to officially retire Cam Newton's No. 2. The school announced on Monday that Newton's jersey number will go up in the rafters ahead of the Georgia Bulldogs matchup on October 11.
“Cam Newton not only led Auburn to a national championship in 2010, but he produced one of the most prolific seasons ever by a college football player. Retiring Cam’s jersey number is a fitting way to celebrate his lasting impact on Auburn University and Auburn Athletics for all time," Cohen said.
Hugh Freeze shared a similar sentiment.
