Auburn is retiring the No. 2 jersey of Heisman Trophy winner and national champion quarterback Cam Newton.
The ceremony will take place on Oct. 11 during the Tigers' game against rival Georgia at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Newton, 36, will be just the fourth player so honored at Auburn, joining fellow Heisman winners Bo Jackson (No. 34) and Pat Sullivan (No. 7) along with record-setting receiver Terry Beasley (No. 88).
No Auburn player has worn the No. 2 since Newton led the unbeaten Tigers (14-0) to a BCS national championship and won the Heisman in 2010.
'Auburn will always be home to me,' Newton said in a statement. 'The national championship we won in 2010 was a special moment, and to have my jersey retired alongside legends like Pat Sullivan, Bo Jackson, and Terry Beasley is an incredible honor that I'll cherish forever. War Eagle!'
Newton passed for 2,854 yards with 30 touchdowns and seven interceptions and ran for 1,473 yards and 20 scores in his lone season at Auburn. In addition to the Heisman Trophy, he was rewarded with the Maxwell, Walter Camp, Manning, Davey O'Brien and AP Player of the Year awards.
He became the No. 1 overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers and played 11 seasons, winning NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2015 and earning three Pro Bowl selections.
