Recruiting Class of 2017 Already Getting Jersey Numbers

[Taylor21]

Jaevon McQuitty # 4

[Red Five]

Per their Twitter account, some have apparently already gotten the OK for certain numbers.

 

WR Tyjon Lindsey - Corona, California - #1

CB Elijah Blades - Pasadena, California - #1 (Lamar Jackson switching to #21)

 

Hmmm... Does Tyjon return punts? Might cause a problem on special teams if both are out there.

Always felt like they should keep the duplicates to the redshirts but I guess that horse bolted a long time ago. Didn't we get penalized for having two #Xs on the field this year once?

Yes, you can only have one jersey number on the field at a time. That's why duplicates are usually split between offense and defense. But special teams throws a wrench in it.

This tells me that Elijah Blades won't be playing special teams, at least not punt or kick off return. I guess he could play on the punt coverage team.
