Florida State to retire Jameis Winston's jersey, honor 2013 champs

Florida State will retire Jameis Winston's jersey in the home finale Saturday against North Alabama, as the Seminoles honor the 10-year anniversary of the 2013 national champions.

Winston won the Heisman Trophy in 2013 as a redshirt freshman, leading Florida State to a 14-0 record after throwing 40 touchdown passes and setting the national freshman record for passing yards with 4,057.

He also led Florida State to the first ever College Football Playoff in 2014, with the Seminoles losing to Oregon in the semifinals. Winston passed for 7,964 yards (fourth in FSU history) and 65 touchdowns (second) during his two seasons

"The retirement of Jameis' jersey will certainly be a great event on our campus," FSU athletic director Michael Alford said in a statement.
