Hawkins and Samuels both wearing #20 is interesting to me. They both seem like plus athletes which would typically indicate special teams is an option.

It's been a while since Michigan's roster had names like Hugh de Neville, Phillip d'Aubigny and Stephen Langton on it, and back in those days, they were far more worried about breakouts of things like typhoid in the locker room than next week's opponent.

#55 on Hudson is awesome. I don't care much for defensive linemen in anything below 40 but whatevs.

2 players can't have the same number on the field at the same time but not too many people will confuse Aubrey Solomon 6'3" 290 lbs with Kurt Taylor 5'9" 200 lbs.

He's gonna redshirt so he could be #7 for a year. Like how Brandon Peters is #18 and Eubanks is also #18. Same recruiting class, but BP redshirted.

there are certain numbers I really like and certain numbers that I don't. Not a huge fan of 6 numbers (16, 26) or numbers in the 30s and 40s and 60s.  I have no explanation for this, but I know I'd be a huge pain in the ass if a coach was trying to give me a number.

I would not want to be tackled by this dude in a dark alley..., or in any alley..., or tackled anywhere by the dude for that matter.

OSU running backs, and qb's will eventually feel the same way!

Players are wearing shorts with no knee pads these days!

Freaks me out.

not sure if serious but prob just for pictures as theyre required to wear certain pads during games.

current players are so blessed with the improvements in equipment, breathable fabrics, etc though theyre young enough its prob always been their norm.  i vividly recall the days of girdles with annoying thigh and tailbone pads, jumbo shoulder pads (for all but QB and K), extra baggy jerseys, etc...by the time i got to college we progressed to smaller pads with under armour spandex and whatnot and the equipment staff tailored gear to each players specs but still prob somewhat bulky compared to current gear

Dylan wore 12 in highschool, so 2 would make sense.b/c its open. But honestly since he's redshirting he can pretty much choose any of the numbers 1-19 minus a few obvious ones.. so we'll see
