As a redshirt freshman, Jamire Jordan had a very good season for Fresno State, leading the team in receptions and receiving yards and tying for the lead in touchdown receptions. He had all of that in the bank when, this summer, he asked about changing his uniform number.
Ordinarily, such a request is not a big deal. Ask and unless that new number is retired, it’s easy. Boom, done. And, again, Jordan did have some standing with those 46 receptions, 540 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2015.
But he asked to wear No. 1, which is why when the Bulldogs opened fall camp Thursday he was wearing No.
