Ohio State's newest class of NFL rookies have received their jersey numbers.
First-round pick Justin Fields (1), second-round picks Pete Werner (20) and Josh Myers (71) and fifth-round pick Luke Farrell (89) were all able to keep their jersey numbers from their Ohio State careers, but the rest of the Buckeyes' 2021 draft picks and undrafted rookies have new digits in the NFL.
The full list of jersey numbers for Ohio State's rookie class:

In addition to those 15 members of last year's Ohio State team who are all on NFL rosters, three other Buckeyes are also participating in rookie minicamp this weekend as tryout players. J.T. Barrett is wearing No. 5 for his tryout with the Dallas Cowboys, C.J. Saunders is wearing No. 12 for his tryout with the Atlanta Falcons and Johnnie Dixon is wearing No. 18 for his tryout with the Cleveland Browns.
The rookies aren't the only Buckeyes in the NFL with new jersey numbers for the 2021 season. Now that the NFL is allowing players to wear a wider variety of numbers across more positions, two former Ohio State players have taken advantage of the opportunity to switch to single digits: Parris Campbell is now wearing No. 1 for the Indianapolis Colts, while Jordan Fuller will now wear the same No. 4 he wore at Ohio State for the Los Angeles Rams.
