Tucsonan Mirich second NAU player with retired jerseyΒ 

TucsonanΒ Rex Mirich, who was inducted into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame three years ago, will have his old NAU football jersey retired in Flagstaff on Oct. 3, at the NAU-Montana State game. Mirich, a defensive lineman from San Manuel who played seven seasons in the NFL, will be just the second NAU football player to have his jersey retired. Well deserved.
