(CBSNewYork)- The University of Mississippi, better known as Ole Miss, announced Monday that the football program will be retiring former Giants quarterback Eli Manning’s No. 10 jersey this fall. Manning will be just the third player in the history of the program to have his jersey retired, joining his father Archie (18) and Chucky Mullins (38). The jersey retirement ceremony will take place during this year’s matchup with Auburn on September 19.
“We couldn’t be prouder or more excited to officially add Eli’s No. 10 to its rightful place among the retired jersey numbers in our football history,” Ole Miss Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Keith Carter said in a statement.
