Honoring Darren McFadden

The Arkansas football team has introduced a No. 5 jersey patch to honor Darren McFadden.

Two numbers in Arkansas football history have been retired: Brandon Burlsworth's 77 and Clyde Scott's 12.

The athletics department announced in July that McFadden's number would be honored, not retired, and a patch would be added to both the offensive and defensive jerseys.

“It's a conversation piece,”

said McFadden, the Doak Walker Award winner and Heisman Trophy runner-up in both 2006 and 2007.

McFadden was honored on the field during Arkansas' game against Texas A&M.
