BOULDER — 2 Soon.

You want to talk records? Fine. Darian Hagan put up a 28-5-2 mark as CU’s starting quarterback. Kordell Stewart went 27-5-1 as the Buffs’ QB1.

If Shedeur Sanders’ No. 2 jersey is retired for eternity at Folsom Field, then Hagan’s No. 3 and Stewart’s No. 10 better be next.

“It’s just so disrespectful,” former CU great J.J. Flannigan told me by phone Tuesday, “in so many ways.”

For Hunter, CU’s second Heisman Trophy winner, Folsom immortality was fait accompli. Sanders, son of CU coach Deion Sanders and the best pure passer in Buffs QB history, probably would’ve joined him. Eventually.

Welcome to 2025, where “eventually” means “in a few days.” The Buffs are retiring Shedeur’s No. 2 and Travis Hunter’s No. 12 at Saturday’s spring game.

The premise is fine. The timing is bonkers.

For one thing, the younger Sanders and Hunter officially hung up their CU helmets only four-and-a-half months ago at the Alamo Bowl. While the Buffs capped off a 9-4 season, it was, on the whole, a night to forget.

If that seems like a mighty quick turnaround for a jersey retirement, you’re right — the late, great Rashaan Salaam’s No. 19 was honored 23 years after he won the Heisman Trophy. Byron White and Bobby Anderson had to wait a year to see their numbers retired. Joe Romig had to wait two.

And while we’re on the subject of waiting, the Buffs traditionally retire jerseys about as often as the Army hands out Astronaut badges. Before this week, CU had only honored four such players, and only one Buff — Salaam — has been recognized for their efforts between 1973-2022.
