Surprise Announcement: # 32 Retired

[NewsCopy]

  Before Wednesday's game against Middle Tennessee, UL honored its 13 seniors and retired the No. 32 jersey of running back Tyrell Fenroy.

The Cajuns made the unprecedented move to retire Fenroy's jersey after airing a video on the scoreboard of his career highlights. Overcome with emotion, Fenroy kneeled with his parents by his side on the field when the announcement was made.

Fenroy, the nation's active career rushing leader, is only the seventh player in NCAA history with four 1,000-yard rushing seasons. Earlier this season the LaPlace native became the career rushing leader in school, Sun Belt and state history.

Just seeing Tyrell's reaction to the announcement was worth the trip to the game!

What a CLASS ACT, how freakin humbling it was when he went to his knees, one of the most uplifting things I have ever witnessed on a football field.

Did anyone get a picture?

I would like to make it my desktop.

It was great to see Tyrell's Jersey get retired last night. I only wish that the administration would have been able to have the wall painted with a tarp over it and unviel it after the number was retired.
