Tyler Hansbrough will soon be the next member of the University of North Carolina to have their jersey number retired. The junior was just recently honored as Division I National Player of the Year by Sporting News. UNC has tradition to retire any jersey number for any of their athletes who earn Nation Player of the Year honors.
Tyler Hansbrough's jersey will be hanging along side, Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Phil Ford.
"It truly is something special to have accomplished," Hansbrough said. "In fact, it's kind of hard to sit here and talk about how it feels to be put in the same category as the players who are up there already." - ESPN
