First college, now Cam Newton is going back to high school.
Atlanta’s Westlake High School, Newton’s alma mater, retired his No. 2 high school jersey at a ceremony Friday night during Westlake’s basketball game against Langston Hughes. The Blessed Individual was in attendance, as was his Heisman Trophy, which apparently sat in a box under the desk of the school’s athletic director all day long.
How long does his Auburn one have — seven months? A year? Two?
Newton actually talked about returning to Auburn while addressing the crowd.
“That’s something that I promised my mom,” he said. “It’s been somewhat challenging going back and putting my school face on and trying to study up. But it’s been fun as well.”

When he graduates AU, then they should retire his number.
The media tainted his championship season with a constant drumbeat of innuendo. Now he gets to enjoy the spotlight without any dark clouds hanging over his reputation. He deserves this.
Also, he is setting a superb example to kids that it is NOT just about the money. He is honoring his education.
The only caution would be as far as pick up basketball games. A gazillion pennies are riding on those ankles.
I liked seeing him in the stands next to Gus.
That says a lot about their relationship.
