On Friday, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow posted a photo of himself in a Tigers' No. 9 football jersey. By Saturday, the school announced the numbers for 16 football newcomers for 2018.
These 16 players did not participate in spring practices, and many of them enrolled for classes for the summer session. All are expected on campus for the first reporting day Aug. 3.
Burrow, a first-year transfer who left Ohio State after the spring, will wear No. 9. He wore a different number -- No. 10 -- while with the Buckeyes.
Terrence Alexander, a graduate transfer cornerback from John Curtis by way of Stanford, will wear No.
