Texas A&M football: New jersey numbers & changes for players ahead of spring practice
Which Texas A&M football players are getting new numbers? What numbers will the newcomers wear? Let’s take a look.
Texas A&M football: Tracking every jersey number change and new numbers for transfers, freshmen
Spring practice begins tomorrow for Texas A&M football. All the new additions to the team have made it to campus, and all the outgoing transfers have departed. This latter part frees up quite a few jersey numbers for the newcomers; as numerous as they are, the incoming group needed it!
Let's go over which returning players changed numbers for the Aggies before we go into which numbers the incoming players will wear.
WR Micah Tease has changed from #13 to #4.
RB Amari Daniels has changed from #4 to #5.
QB Blake Bost has changed from #21 to #14.
DB Bobby Taylor has changed from #3 to #22.
TE Jaden Platt has changed from #6 to #85.
All told, only five changes for the team. The amount of newcomers, though, is much greater; and given those who are departing either via transfer or the draft, there are going to be quite a few new guys in familiar numbers. Let's take a look.
