Top Player to Wear Each Jersey Number

Whichever number Al Wilson would've worn, he would be the greatest Vol to ever wear that number.

#36 is obviously Cody Blanc before he switched numbers.

#38 Greg Johnson. Pretty sure the only guy from my high school to get a scholarship to play SEC football ever.

 

29 could be Evan Berry. 28 is tough. Had a decent TR a few years back. Chris Brown, I think.

 

#21= Heath Shuler

 

17 is tee
23 is Goodrich
24 Hayden
33 Jones

We're just going to need two 27s

 

Rename that line on the list 27².

 

Tauren Poole was 28, I think.

I'll default to the General though.

 

Not if he put on Doug Atkins' jersey.

 

Probably the best player to come out of this university, save maybe perhaps possibly Manning.

 

Then probably Reggie White.

 

And you know I have a soft spot for Webb. He just doesn't have the body of work.

 

I do too. He was an amazing football player.

 

Atkins may be best player to ever play at tennessee.

And 27 is likely the toughest discussion other than Rashad baker/manning at 16.

 

yeah... I agree with yall on #27.. damn. just need to take both those guys.

 

Gotta go with Wilson. Having seen him play being the only reason.

 

I wish I could've seen him play. I could probably find some games online but it's not the same.

 

I liked Bryson better, mainly because I knew Hayden's little brother and he never stopped talking about how much money his brother was going to make in the NFL.

 

#41 - ????
#42 - Bob Suffridge (honorable mention to Eric Westmoreland)
#43 - David Leaverton (only one I can think of)
#44 - Chuck Webb
#45 - Johnny Majors (shoutout to Will Bartholomew)
#46 - Raynoch Thompson
#47 - Dustin or Britton Colquitt (shoutout to Greg Amsler)
#48 - Beattie Feathers
#49 - Kelly Ziegler (although #49 was retired in 2006 to honor Rudy Klarer)
#50 - Bill Duff
#51 - Robert Ayres
#52 - Cosey Coleman?
#53 - Jerod Mayo
#54 - Dale Jones
#55 - Jesse Mahelona is my best guess
#56 - Curt Maggitt is my best guess
#57 - Steve Kiner
#58 - Todd Lelly or Darwin Walker?
#59 - ??????
#60 - ??????

 

I think we can probably do better with some of those 50's guys, but I'll have to think on it. Did Mayo not wear #7 his entire time here?

 

He did change his number

 

Mayo definitely did wear #7, but.... #7 is C. Holloway, and I think he was the better to wear it.
