Yes. He's on pace to graduate next week so no worries there.

Yes. Then next year he will have to choose a new number, win the heisman again, and have that one retired as well

They won't retire #7 but his name would go up next to Billy's

No and I don't think he would want it retired either. Those guys like to pass that number down.

I think you have to graduate from LSU to have your number retired.

I could be mistaken though

Could #7 become the "new" #18?

Him leaving after his junior year does not equal him not graduating. Plenty of athletes still finish their degree after going pro. With as high of a character person, and as hard working as he is I would think getting his degree would be important for him.
