re: Update on battle for 18

I am always unsure whether a offensive lineman can't have singles or teens. The NCAA rule book "strongly recommends" certain numbers for some positions, including offensive line.
LINK
Rule 1 Section 4 Article 1 recommends numbering as follows for offensive players;
Backs 1–49
Center 50–59
Guard 60–69
Tackle 70–79
End 80–99
"Strongly recommend" is different than "shall" or other mandatory language. And it's clear that other players at skill positions don't abide by their guidelines: (ie Dupre is #15, Beckham was 3, etc.)
Like I said, I don't know. There may be some other rule I don't know about, but I think it would be cool for Collins to get #18.

Can everyone as a whole just support the guy, and see how the year plays out.
They are not just giving the spot/job the Welter, he has earned it.
Everyone already knows on here Welter is the worst player on the team, does nothing and will never do anything to contribute, and the coaches just play him because he is white and older. He doesn't run a 4.3 and is not 6'4 265, and does not have the potential to be a 1st round draft pick like all of the other LBs behind him. But for some reason our coaching staff, for that one position has no idea what they are doing. Sound about right?

I dont see why he couldnt, QB from Michigan wore 98 last year.

Ok, it seems like we go through this every year, but here is the rule and the reason why an O-lineman will never wear #18.
Rule 7, Section 1, Article 4-a-3
At least five linemen must wear jerseys numbered 50-79.
The penalty would be illegal formation, 5yds from the previous spot. For arguments sake, Collins could feasibly wear 18 IF there were five other linemen wearing 50-79 EVERY PLAY.
Lineman will just have to start their own number tradition. Maybe in a few yrs we can debate who should wear #70 (Ciron Black and Collins) have done well wearing it!
