The LSU Tigers have only retired two numbers in their lengthy history — Billy Cannon’s No. 20 and Tommy Casanova’s No. 37.

However, they’re about to add a third, as it was announced on Tuesday that former halfback and punter Jerry Stovall would have his No. 21 jersey retired.

Stovall was the SEC Player of the Year in 1962 and the No. 2 overall pick in the 1963 NFL Draft, and he also served as the Tigers’ coach from 1980 to 1983. As you can see below, he’s humbled by the honor:

“This is the most humbling honor that you can ever imagine, because it’s an honor that you never, ever consider to be within your grasp,” he said. “I was fortunate to play at LSU at a very special time when we had an extremely talented group of players, coaches and trainers.

“This honor is for all of the young men that were my teammates and the coaches that pushed us to strive for greatness.”

Stovall’s ceremony will take place during one of the Tigers’ home games this fall.
