The Kent State Athletic Department will retire former Kent State quarterback Josh Cribbs’ number at the football game on Oct. 30, the department announced at a press conference this afternoon in Cleveland.

Cribbs, who currently is a wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns, played for Kent State from 2001-2004. In that time, he broke seven offensive records for the Flashes, including rushing touchdowns (38), passing yardage (7,169), total offensive yards (10,839) and pass completions (616).

Cribbs’ No. 9 is just the fourth number retired by the football team. Kent State has also retired the numbers of Eric Wilkerson (40), Jack Lambert (99) and Jim Corrigall (79).
