Cam Coleman 8, Dia Bell 6, KJ Lacey switching to 9, Atkinson 16

Kohen Brown 13, Jamarion Carlton 94, Zion Williams 97 (January changing numbers) 

At the risk of derailing this thread, I have a hypothetical scenario:

If number 1 opened up on your team and you have a returning starting RB, the top player in the portal (WR) coming in, and a Freshman 5* projected starting QB and they all want #1. As a head coach who do you give it to and why?

Seniority trumps all. I remember when Quinn offered to give up 3 for Jordan Addison. Unless that was a false report

To the one that has the clearest pee because he's the best teammate.

Jamarion Carlton in No. 94 for his freshman season.

WR Kohen Brown rocking #13

Guessing Smothers would be #4 and Bishop #2. Who else would be missing on offense? 
 

I think that’d leave 14, 15, 18 open on offense

Maybe he can take the stench off the #13 after being worn by that turncoat who shall remain nameless 

Smothers in 2 is going to be pretty slick.

Hollywood Smothers rocking #2.

Last time we had a #2 and a #5 carrying the rock in the same season worked out pretty well

I like your thinking...

 

• 0 – Raleek Brown
• 2 – Hollywood Smothers
• 5 – Derrek Cooper

New Texas LB Markus Boswell will wear No. 44

New OT Jonte Newman will wear No. 79

Based on New Jersey being capitalized I thought this was going to be a mafia gambling thread.

Sounds like I might need to start one just for that!

No, no three digit numbers.

Dia Bell will wear No. 6

DL James Johnson will wear #52 in 2026.

DB Toray Davis is rocking #25.
