Wayne State retires Joique Bell's No. 5 jersey

Wayne State University has retired Joique Bell's No. 5 jersey. Bell -- currently a running back for the Detroit Lions -- was on hand at WSU's homecoming game Saturday for a special ceremony. Bell played for WSU from 2006 to 2009, winning the 2009 Harlon Hill Trophy for the most outstanding Division II football player. Bell ranked fourth in Division II history, finishing with 8,055 yards when he graduated. He also became the fourth player in Division II history to have two 2,000-yard rushing seasons. Bell was joined by his mother and step-father for Saturday's halftime ceremony. WSU has only retired two other football jerseys: Tom Adams' No. 29 and Ron Solack's No. 35.
