Chris Olave to change his jersey number for 2020

Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave is expected to do some pretty big things next year. He will apparently be doing it in a different jersey number than what we’ve been accustomed to through his first two seasons in Columbus.

We all recognize the No. 17 making big plays down the field (and so too does Michigan), but according to a tease on Twitter by Olave himself, that is coming to an end. No, not the playmaking or super-wedgies he continues to give Michigan, but the jersey number.

In a series of three Tweets to his Twitter feed, Olave first said goodbye to the number we’ve been seen him wearing.

He then, let the world know what number we’ll see him in next year. It is the same number he wore in high school — No. 2.

Lastly, he had some help from the Buckeye Edits to show what he’ll look like in the new number. See the below retweet from Olave after it was shared.

While the number may be changing for 2020, you can expect the same type of threat, route-running and hands making highlights in a stadium near you in the fall.
