Colorado has only given four other players the honor of having their jerseys retired in the last 90 years:

No. 24 Byron "Whizzer" White, a running back from 1935 to 1937 who went on to become a U.S. Supreme Court justice

Darian Hagan and Kordell Stewart had superior careers in CU. This is so weird...even for Deion.

The list of previous jersey retires' is impressive. They were great players and also great at adding to their resume after they graduated. We don't know about these guys yet as they are less than 1 year from leaving school. A little too early in my opinion.
