Arguably the greatest receiver in the history of South Carolina football will have his jersey retired this fall. Alshon Jeffery, who played three years for the Gamecocks from 2009-2011 will receive the honor during halftime of the September 23rd home game against Mississippi State, and when he does, the unquestionable top-2 in program history will be immortalized at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Sterling Sharpe had his #2 retired in 1987 while he was still an active player.
