There are five of those: No. 19 is now worn by both wide receiver Jimmy Kibble and last year’s Mr. Irrelevant, cornerback ; No. 23 is shared by wideout Nick DeGennaro and safety John Saunders Jr; No. 29 by cornerback Channing Canada and wideout Jeremiah Webb Jr; No. 36 by defensive back Kenneth Harris and kicker ; No. 39 by running back Myles Montgomery and cornerback Brandon Crossley.
