BYU legends Marc Wilson, Robbie Bosco and Luke Staley are having their No. 6 retired on Saturday as the Cougars take on the No. 10-ranked Wisconsin Badgers.

It is an honor that is well-deserved for the three former All-Americans, but they aren't the only BYU standouts to ever wear the No. 6 for BYU. In fact, 17 different Cougars have worn that number over the years, according to BYUCougars.com, including a handful of guys who had huge amounts of success.

While early signal callers Lowell Rugg and Ben Mortensen donned the number for BYU in the late '40s and early '50s it has only been used consistently since 1975 when Wilson made it iconic.
