Michigan WR Roman Wilson changes to coveted No. 1 jersey
Michigan football‘s senior wide receiver Roman Wilson has decided to make a change. That change is transitioning from wearing the No. 14 jersey to the coveted No. 1. This number, is more than just a digit at Michigan as it carries the legacy of Wolverine legends like Braylon Edwards and Anthony Carter.
Why it Matters
The No. 1 jersey is not just another jersey in the Michigan football roster; it's a symbol of excellence and has often been the choice of standout receivers. Roman Wilson is poised to step into this grand tradition. With Wilson back in full health, there is high anticipation for him to redefine his position, potentially becoming J.J. McCarthy’s go-to target this season.
What Roman Wilson Say?
During fall camp, Wilson voiced his aspirations for the upcoming 2023 season:
“Who can be that go-to receiver? Who’s going to be dependable? I gotta be there and make plays when he wants me to.”
“If you’ve watched my game, if you put me in that category of ‘I’m a fast guy,’” Wilson added. “I’m not just a fast guy. I can help in the backfield, I can play wideout, I can play slot. I am fast, I can go up and get the ball, and I can run after catch. I’ve got great hands; that’s who I am.”
