Raises in interesting question. Drew’s career at TU wasn’t worthy of having his number retired. His NFL career was of course spectacular. Does a school retire a player’s number based on his professional career?

Absolutely not. And personally, the way he whined for years and years about not getting into the Pro FB HOF turned me against him.

Still good for us he got in.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought TU only retired football #'s for All Americans or NFL HOFers (and if it is HOFers maybe Pearson isn't far behind since he just got into the hall a couple years ago).
