It looks like Denzel Burke has a new number.
After wearing No. 29 throughout his true freshman season, it appears that Burke will be switching his jersey number to No. 5 this season after he posted an image teasing the switch on Twitter.

Currently, there is no player wearing No. 5 on either offense or defense after Marcus Williamson graduated and Garrett Wilson left early for the NFL.
Burke becomes just the ninth defensive back in Ohio State history to wear No. 5, the most notable of which was Chimdi Chekwa, who was a first-team All-American in 2010 and went on to be selected in the fourth round by the Raiders in the 2011 NFL Draft.
