Wearing a Kent State University jacket, Cleveland Browns wide receiver/kick returner Josh Cribbs was joined by his parents, wife and two kids as he listened to his career stats that were read over the loud speaker during a halftime ceremony at Dix Stadium on Saturday night as Kent State defeated Ball State, 33-14.

Cribbs also presented a check for $100,000 to the university.

His number will hang along side NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Lambert, running back Eric Wilkerson and Canadian Football Hall of Fame member Jim Corrigall.

Cribbs graduated from Kent State in the spring of 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies with a concentration in public communication.
