AUSTIN, Texas—Honoring athletes from the distant and recent past, the University of Texas announced Friday it is retiring nine jerseys in football, men’s basketball and baseball, including Vince Young and Kevin Durant.

Young (No. 10), was the quarterback of the Longhorns’ 2005 national championship team. Durant (No. 35) played only one season but was the consensus national player of the year as a freshman in the 2006-07 season.

“I’m completely humbled,” Durant said in a statement released by the school. “This is definitely and honor that is really special to me and my family.”

Until Friday, the only Longhorns to have their jerseys retired were football Heisman Trophy winners Earl Campbell (20) and Ricky Williams (34), Naismith and Wooden award winner basketball player T.J. Ford (11) and seven-time Cy Young award winner pitcher Roger Clemens (21).

Also joining that group are quarterback Bobby Layne (22), linebacker Tommy Nobis (60), basketball player Slater Martin (15) and baseball players Burt Hooton (20), Greg Swindell (21), Brooks Kieschnick (23) and Scott Bryant (25). The baseball No. 21 will get dual recognition for Clemens and Swindell, the school said.

“This is such an unbelievable honor, having my jersey retired along with a group of Longhorn football legends like Earl, Ricky, Bobby Layne and Tommy Nobis,” Young said.

The school will have retirement ceremonies for the jerseys during the corresponding seasons.

“A lot of folks deserve to be considered,” men’s athletic director DeLoss Dodds said. “We’re proud to do this.”

The announcement was made through the men’s athletic department. While the school tripled the number of jerseys retired, none of them have been worn by women at a program that considers itself among the leaders in women’s athletics.

Several former Texas stars are in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, won national player of the year awards, won national championships or have won Olympic gold medals in basketball and softball.

Texas women’s athletic director Chris Plonsky said there are no plans to retire any women’s jerseys.

Jody Conradt, the women’s basketball coach from 1976-2007 and women’s athletic director from 1992-2001, said she expects it will happen someday.

“I think it should be considered,” Conradt said. “When you look at the history, we’re still in our infancy compared to men’s athletics.”

Conradt said the dilemma has been establishing criteria for such an honor. She noted that Texas established a women’s Hall of Honor in 2000, which currently has 47 former players, coaches and administrators.

Dodds said criteria on the men’s side included that an athlete be recognized as a national player of the year in his sport, although exceptions were made for Layne, Martin and Hooton.

While Young and Nobis didn’t win the Heisman, they won the Maxwell Award, presented annually by the Maxwell Memorial Football Club of Philadelphia to honor the nation’s outstanding football player.
