Jersey numbers for the new guys

[giacfsp]

The on-line roster has the numbers listed for the freshmen (and transfers):

LB Carlos Carroll (40): Legit number

QB Kolney Cassel (17): Solid QB number

K Daniel Chaparro (77): He's listed as a redshirt freshman, so does that mean he was here last year? Either way ... 77 for a KICKER? Love it. Got to love those unusual college numbers.

S Myles Crosby (27)

WR Everett Dickerson (82)

OL Travis Fister (62)

WR/TE Jeremiah Gaines (84)

DE Mason Gentry (93)

WR Nate Halverson (20): Excellent choice. Gives impression of being a RB, DB, WR ... nice for a versatile athlete.

DL Spencer Hollie (91)

OL Christian Holloway (76): He's not new, but he's new to OL.

LB Nick Horton (25): Like it.

DB Cedrick Lancaster (3): Didn't Coach Phillips say he's going to play WR? And when he was recruited, I never saw a K on the end of his name. Why the change? Either way, 3 works at WR or CB.

DE Justin Lawler (99)

OL Daniel McCarty (67)

DE Zelt Minor (92)

CB Jesse Montgomery (89): Huh? Unorthodox numbers are cool, but I can't remember ever seeing a DB with a number in the 80s

DE Elie Nabushosi (7): Looks like he has switched from 41 to 7. This is one case when it works.

WR J'Marcus Rhodes (18): I thought he was a CB. Either way ... this one works, too.

S Darrion Richardson (29)

CB Horace Richardson (9): Shades of Marcus Malonson! Awesome.

S Daniel Roundtree (12): Another nice switch.

OT Jerry Saena (78)

WR Deion Sanders (2): Wasn't that his dad's college number?

DE Jarrett Spencer (11): Kind of cool. I like it.

WR JaBryce Taylor (83): Got to keep his high school number.

DB Trey Washington (14)

[SMU 86]

Who knows, as fast as Jesse Montgomery is they might try him at WR first to see if it works.

[Fresno Mustang]

77 for a kicker is awesome.

Disagree. Makes us look minor league/high school.

I can imagine dumping the ball to that guy with some space and seeing fireworks

WR Deion Sanders (2): Wasn't that his dad's college number?

Yes

a DB can't wear 89 can he? There are NCAA rues regulating jersey numbers. I guess they will look at him at the WR/UBack/TE spot

Alabama's Kicker was 99 a few years ago, did they look minor league?

I know that OLs have to be 50-79; but are there any other regulations that the NCAA imposes?

No, other than two players from the same team can't wear the same number on the field at the same time, unless you are Notre Dame of course.

Can he run or throw the ball on a trick play with a 77 number?? Does he need to declare himself a tackle eligible??

Hope Zelt can wear that number as well as its previous owner
