Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy will be going back to the University of Texas where he was two-time Walter Camp Football Foundation National Player of the Year and Heisman Trophy finalist on October 30th before the start of the Baylor to see his No. 12 jersey retired.

McCoy will join five other Longhorns football national players of the year to have their jerseys retired: No. 20 Earl Campbell, No. 11 Bobby Layne, No. 60 Tommy Nobis, No. 34 Ricky Williams and No. 10 Vince Young.

“I was just overwhelmed, humbled and psyched when I was told about this,” McCoy said. “It’s a dream come true!

“This is such a tremendous honor, but it’s not about me. It’s about all of the great coaches that helped me develop as a player and a man, the tremendous teammates that made my job so much easier and the most supportive family anyone could ask for. I can’t thank Coach (Mack) Brown enough for bringing me to Texas and Coach (Greg) Davis and all of the staff for pushing me and helping me to improve each and every day.

“Having grown up in Texas and playing for my dad in high school makes this extra special. Hopefully it’s something every coach who helped me along the way — from Pop Warner, Little League, junior high and high school — can be proud of and a tribute to everything coaches do in developing young players all across this great state.”
