Bears' Colston Loveland felt all kinds of love back home in Idaho over the weekend

POCATELLO, Idaho — Colston Loveland’s jersey was retired here Saturday.

No, not his Bears No. 84. Not his Michigan No. 18. Not his Gooding High School No. 5.

Honored on this day was the No. 80 jersey he wore when he dominated the annual Idaho All-State Game for eighth-graders in 2017. Eight years later, the pride of the Gem State was cheered by youth football standouts and their families as he walked to the 50-yard line inside the ICCU Dome on the campus of Idaho State University, a two-hour drive due east from where he grew up.
