Wyoming Retires Josh Allen’s No. 17 in Halftime Ceremony

The Bills quarterback became the first Cowboys football player with a retired jersey, joining Fennis Dembo and Kenny Sailors in the school’s select group.

Overview

  • Wyoming unveiled Allen’s name and No. 17 on the stadium’s middle deck after a highlight video during halftime of the Nevada game in Laramie.
  • Allen attended with his parents and former coach Craig Bohl, and his wife Hailee Steinfeld was photographed at War Memorial Stadium.
  • In brief remarks to the sellout crowd, he thanked teammates and fans before joking, “it will always suck to be a CSU Ram.”
  • The Cowboys fell to Nevada 13–7 later that day, marking their third straight loss.
  • The reigning NFL MVP returned to campus for the first time since 2018 as the Bills sit 7–4 following a Week 12 loss to the Texans.
