Marvin Harrison Jr. and Mike Hall Jr. are keeping their jersey numbers from Ohio State.
Ohio State’s top two selections in the 2024 NFL draft will be wearing familiar numbers with their new teams. Harrison will wear No. 18 for the Arizona Cardinals while Hall will wear No. 51 for the Cleveland Browns, the same numbers they wore for all three of their seasons at OSU.

Ohio State’s other two draft picks will have new numbers in the NFL.
Cade Stover, who the Houston Texans drafted in the fourth round, will switch to No. 87 after wearing No. 8 and No. 16 during his OSU career. Those numbers are currently occupied on the Texans’ roster by wide receiver John Metchie III and quarterback Tim Boyle.

Tommy Eichenberg, who the Las Vegas Raiders drafted in the fifth round, will wear No. 45 for the silver and black after wearing No. 35 for the scarlet and gray. Eichenberg previously wore No. 45 at St. Ignatius High School but was unable to wear that number at Ohio State because it is retired for two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin.

Each of Ohio State’s four undrafted free agent signings have also received new jersey numbers. Steele Chambers is wearing No. 51 at Detroit Lions rookie minicamp while Xavier Johnson is wearing No. 16 at Buffalo Bills rookie minicamp. Matthew Jones is wearing No. 62 for the Miami Dolphins and Josh Proctor is wearing No. 43 for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Former Ohio State running back Miyan Williams remains unsigned as he continues to recover from knee surgery he underwent in January.
