The majority of Heisman winners don't have their number retired. Plus he didn't win even a championship at LSU and was only there for 1 season lol

Not a big fan of retiring numbers, especially when college teams already have more players shirts 0-99, but while Daniels won the Heisman Burrow won the Heisman and a national championship.
