Numerically speaking, some of the Tigers will have a different look this spring.

Several players have engaged in off-season jersey swapping, and will wear new numbers for the 2013 season.

Wide receiver Adam Humphries has switched from No. 16 to No. 13.

Linebacker Stephone Anthony swapped No. 12 for No. 42.

Quarterback Cole Stoudt will wear No. 18 instead of No. 8.

Defensive end Tavaris Barnes switched from No. 6 to No. 9.

With his position change from defensive tackle to the offensive line, Tra Thomas changed from No. 95 to No. 59.

First-year freshmen jersey numbers include No. 1 for defensive end Ebenezer Ogundeko (which he shares with wide receiver Martavis Bryant); No. 16 for tight end Jordan Leggett; No. 18 for defensive back Jadar Johnson; and No. 90 for defensive end Shaq Lawson.

Redshirt freshmen numbers include No. 5 for wide receiver Germone Hopper, No. 11 for quarterback Chad Kelly, No. 15 for defensive back Ronald Geohaghan, No. 41 for linebacker T.J. Burrell, No. 53 for defensive end Martin Aiken, No. 57 for center Jay Guillermo, No. 65 for offensive lineman Oliver Jones, No. 71 for offensive lineman Patrick Destefano; and No. 89 for tight end Jay Jay McCullough.

Transfer linebacker Kelly Jones will wear No. 52, and offensive lineman Eric Mac Lain is wearing No. 78.
