On campus, Jaquez Johnson, football’s redshirt senior quarterback, is known as number 32, but on Pinterest, he’s known as “hardbody12.”
It all started when head coach Charlie Partridge implemented a policy where players wear business attire during the Owl Walk, two years ago. “There is just something about dressing up,” Partridge previously told the UP. “You’re in a different mode. This is business now.”
The Owl Walk is a home game tradition where the football team, marching band, cheerleading and dance teams walk through the Lot 5 tailgate, entering the stadium while students look on.
