AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn will retire 2010 Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton's No. 2 jersey this fall, making him the fourth player in program history to receive the honor. The ceremony will take place during Auburn's home game against rival Georgia on Oct. 11.

"Cam Newton not only led Auburn to a national championship in 2010, but he produced one of the most prolific seasons ever by a college football player," Auburn athletic director John Cohen said. "Retiring Cam’s jersey number is a fitting way to celebrate his lasting impact on Auburn University and Auburn Athletics for all time."

Auburn athletics announced Monday that the No. 2 jersey, last worn by Heisman Trophy recipient and national championship-winning quarterback Cam Newton during the 2010 season, will officially be retired during a ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 11, when Auburn hosts Georgia for a night game at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
