Even though jersey numbers don’t matter much – there is plenty of time for them to change – it’s always interesting to see what jerseys the freshmen wear. Here’s a rundown of the newcomers:
#0: WR Darrius Clemons
#2: CB Will Johnson (I saw a rumor that he switched to #4, but #2 is on the roster)
#3: S Keon Sabb
#4: WR Amorion Walker
#8: DE Derrick Moore
#10: QB Alex Orji
#12: S Kody Jones
#13: WR Tyler Morris
#16: QB Jayden Denegal
#24: CB Myles Pollard
#55: DT Mason Graham
#55: C Olu Oluwatimi
#60: OL Connor Jones
On another note, Eamonn Dennis has officially switched from cornerback to wide receiver on the roster. Meanwhile, Mike Sainristil is still listed at wide receiver even though he’s getting practice reps at nickel corner.

Best Overall Recruit: CB Will Johnson Johnson is a 5-star talent with size, physicality, good athleticism, and a solid bloodline. Any criticism of him is generally nit-picking, and he was supposedly the best cornerback at the Under Armour All-American Game.
