Numbers are great for math, counting, and looking at your bank account, but when it comes to a player in any sport, they can often take on much more meaning and can be tied to their identity. The same holds true for Ohio State football players as well.
Think about it — We often count down the number of days to the start of a college football season with a former player’s jersey number, or publish lists of the best player to ever wear a certain digit emblazoned on their front and back. Heck, jewelry and tattoos are made memorializing the number of a favorite player.
On that note, the fine folks at Ohio State just recently updated their online roster, and there were some numbers assigned to the freshmen summer enrollees, and even a change in jersey number for certain players already on the team.
Here is everything that has been noted with OSU’s updated roster when it comes to new jersey numbers.
