Jalen Ramsey switches to Charlie Ward's No. 17 jersey for kick returns

Florida State All-American defensive back Jalen Ramsey has added kick return resumes to his resume for the 2015 season. There was only one problem: Ramsey wears the same number as the other returner, Kermit Whitfield. Tomahawk Nation explained the situation during fall camp, but the players would not reveal what number Jalen Ramsey would wear when he switches jerseys before the kickoff.

As it turns out, Ramsey received permission to wear the No. 17, a retired number belonging to former Florida State Heisman-Trophy winning QB Charlie Ward.
