What's in a number? Plenty when it comes to the Florida Gators football and the jerseys that the players will wear this fall.

Florida released its football jersey numbers for the 2022 season earlier this week.

Here are some numbers to note. 

Ricky Pearsall, a transfer receiver from Arizona State, will wear No. 1 for the offense. The number was worn last season by wide receiver Jacob Copeland, who transferred to Maryland. Pearsall could provide a lift to UF's offense this season after catching 48 passes for 580 receiving yards and 4 TDs last season at ASU.

Incoming freshman five-star recruit Kamari Wilson, the second-ranked safety in the nation per 27Sports Composite Rankings, will wear No. 5 for the defense. Wilson, a Fort Pierce native who played at IMG Academy in Bradenton, takes over the number for standout cornerback Kaiir Elam, who was taken in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft (23rd overall) by the Buffalo Bills.

Four returning players are changing numbers from last season: RB Nay’Quan Wright, No. 5 on offense (previously No. 6), OLB Chief Borders, No. 14 on defense (previously No. 36), WR Daejon Reynolds, No. 8 on offense (previously No. 81) and CB Jordan Young, No. 11 on defense (previously No. 31).
