Most football players have a complicated relationship with their number. It's not unusual for a player four decades after he last put on the pads, to still be playing his number at roulette. A lot of players are fairly superstitious about their number. Some won't change the number that they ended up being assigned, feeling it's bad luck change what fate has arranged. Others feel they play better with a specific number and as they move up in class, they'll ask for a number that had been vacated by a senior.
The 2013 roster has 100 numbered players. That's up nine from 2012, which had 91.
There are six duplicate numbers 4, 5, 7, 19, 57 and 99.
Six numbers are unassigned: 53, 62, 63, 65, 71 and 77.
#4
- Shakur Nesmith WR FR
- Randell Jette DB RSSO
Nesmith could be a recruiting steal. Jette wore #17 last year. #4 was worn by departed WR Marken Michel.
#5
- Peter Argeh DL FR
- Ryan Jacobucci WR RSFR
Argeh is a scholarship recruit. #5 is an unusual number for a DL. Jacobucci originally signed with FCS New Haven. # 5 was worn by Michale Cox last year.
#7
- Mark Johnson QB FR
- D'Metrius Williams DB SO
Williams wore #13 last year. Johnson's Be Recruited page. D.J. Adeoba wore #7 last year.
#19
- Connor Lemeiux WR FR
- Hunter Caggiano DB JR
I've blogged about Lemeiux before. Caggiano last played for Assumption. There was no #19 on last year's roster
#57
- Nick Berus LS FR
- Leo Krizanovic DL RS FR
Berus' NCSA recruiting profile here. Krizanovic held #57 last year.
#99
- Logan Laurent P FR
- Michael Dowe, Jr DL SO
I've blogged about Laurent before. Dowe last played for WNEC. Charles Thompson wore #99 in 2013.
