Retired Numbers

UAM has retired just four numbers since beginning football in 1913. The retired numbers are the Number 11 worn by record setting quarterback David ‘Cedro’ Anderson from 1948-51, Number 12, worn by Joe Don Samples from 1982-85, Number 27 worn by the late Bill McGowan, who was killed in an automobile accident in 1955, and the Number 5, worn by Kevin McCarn. McCarn’s number was retired in December 2000 after he became the all-time collegiate passing leader in Arkansas.
