Colorado will retire No. 19 following the season to honor running back Rashaan Salaam, the 1994 Heisman Trophy winner for the Buffaloes. The school announced the news Friday, per David Plati of the team's official site.
Salaam took his own life in December 2016 at 42 years old.
The San Diego native hardly saw the field in his first season with the Buffaloes and split time with Lamont Warren as a sophomore, but he exploded in 1994 for a school-record 2,055 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns. He also added 294 receiving yards while leading Colorado to an 11-1 record.
