The Daily Nole — Aug. 20, 2018: FSU Players Get Single-Digit Numbers Back

FSU athletics

It’s Monday, Florida State fans. As your week begins anew, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.

Lead Story

During the spring, new Florida State head football coach Willie Taggart nixed all single-digit jersey numbers, explaining that players would have to earn them back. According to the updated roster, it appears they have done so.

Returning players with single-digit numbers will revert to those, but there are some notable changes. Freshman cornerback A.J. Lytton, who had been assigned No. 30 is now No. 12. Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Cory Durden will switch from No. 92 to No. 16. Redshirt freshman long snapper Grant Glennon switches from No. 61 to No. 44.

Redshirt senior Arthur Williams, who switched from the defensive line to offense will go from No. 12 to No. 76. After wearing No. 8 last season, wide receiver Nyqwan Murray will revert to No. 80, which he wore in 2016. It should also be noted that running back Zaquandre White is listed as a linebacker.

No other numbers have changed since our last update.
