MTSU to Retire Titans Safety Kevin Byard's Jersey


NASHVILLE – Titans safety Kevin Byard had a good day in Thursday’s practice – he knocked away three balls in an early 1-on-1 period before later intercepting quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Things got even better after practice.

After Byard wrapped up a press conference, MTSU officials surprised him by walking out of Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park and announcing the team’s plans to retire his No. 20 jersey at the school.

“Honestly, this jersey is fire,” Byard said with a smile. “What an honor. Just going back to those days at MTSU. … I played with a lot of great players at MTSU, a lot of great coaches. I couldn’t have done it on my own. A lot of people I want to thank – all the coaches, players, staff, trainers, people in our student enhancement center that helped me. I am just honored, and I am so grateful. I’m really at a loss for words.

“I know my mother would be very proud of me in this moment right now.”
