🏈 New and Changed Numbers for EE and Players

[TUSKtimes]

Alabama has updated its online roster.
Jersey numbers are up for the Crimson Tide's early enrollees, like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Najee Harris.
In addition, some returning players have changed numbers.
Here's a rundown:
Early enrollee numbers
Offensive tackle Elliot Baker -- 78
Defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs -- 49
Long snapper Thomas Fletcher -- 45
Running back Najee Harris -- 22
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy -- 4
Quarterback Mac Jones -- 10
Offensive tackle Alex Leatherwood -- 70
Cornerback Kyriq McDonald -- 26
Safety Xavier McKinney -- 25
Linebacker Dylan Moses -- 6
Running back Brian Robinson -- 24
Wide receiver Tyrell Shavers -- 14
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa -- 13
Tight end Major Tennison -- 88
Wide receiver Chadarius Townsend -- 12
Safety Daniel Wright -- 3
Number changes
* Previous number in parentheses
Defensive lineman Johnny Dwight -- 95 (36)
Running back B.J. Emmons -- 6 (21)
Running back Josh Jacobs -- 8 (25)
Safety Jared Mayden -- 21 (8)

Kinda wish Josh Jacobs had stuck with #25. Reminds me so much of Linnie Patrick with size and running style. BJ Emmons changing numbers is encouraging in that he plans on sticking around and I still think he can be as good as any of them.

Agree on Jacobs, thought #25 suited him well.

Noticed in the Article - Alabama's newcomers, numbers updated on 2017-18 roster
Mack Wilson changed from 30 to 3 but now has been changed back to 30. Wonder if he requested the change then when they started working thru the numbers, Daniel Wright asked not to be redshirted and be allowed to play defense or at least on ST this fall? LOL just joking, guess no one noticed a Defense Guy had already pulled that number?
There are currently three players wearing No. 6, while Nos. 2, 4, 8 and 10 are occupied by one player. Nos. 11 and 18 are currently vacant.
I too agree with Jacobs and 25... but, I know, I would want "my" own number...

Was wondering what would give with Najee being #2 in high school. Would like to see him with a single digit, but 22 has good history.

sorry but 12 should never b worn by receiver
Its honored Bama QB number

Maybe he's planning on being twice as good...... double deuce.

Agree on #12 being more than a number..as should be #54...
And now...absolutely #22... musso...Ingram...Henry...those should be earned..not given...

 

[TUSKtimes]

I don't see Dylan Moses getting a redshirt, so something is going to change with #6. Unless Hootie Jones has decided to be super magnanimous about the whole thing.

 

[BamaFan334]

There are currently three players wearing No. 6, while Nos. 2, 4, 8 and 10 are occupied by one player. Nos. 11 and 18 are currently vacant.

#2 is worn by Hurts and Tony Brown, unless one of those guys changed and I missed seeing it.

Umm, Henry was 27 then 2.

 

[bama alum]

Maybe Najee liked Woodlawn.


(shrug!)

As long as Najee would be ok playing only when the 2nd or 3rd QB was playing or being on ST's guess he could have 2....(Seems Jalen Hurts will be around for a couple years or so, and 2 probably not available?

Tony Brown started with 7 last year but when Diggs was playing both ways and on ST, Tony changed to 2. He is now listed as 7 again; guess Diggs will be O and Tony D.. and may not be on the same ST groups.
