AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn formally retired Cam Newton’s No. 2 jersey at halftime against No. 10 Georgia on Saturday night, engraving his name and number into Jordan-Hare Stadium amid a light show.

Newton became the fourth player in program history to receive the honor.

His No. 2 joins Pat Sullivan’s No. 7, Terry Beasley’s No. 88 and Bo Jackson’s No. 34 as an untouchable number in Auburn football history.

“Words can’t even express the amount of gratitude that I’m walking in right now,” Newton said. “To be able to share this moment with my friends and my family, that’s what it’s all about, man. For all the times and all the kids that I’ve given back to, telling memories, to be able to share these memories in this type of magnitude, to this type of capacity, is every athlete’s dream.”
