LOOK: Texas LB Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey changes uniform number

Texas Longhorns senior linebacker Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey revealed his new uniform number on Twitter Thursday — the James Madison Duke transfer is switching from No. 2 to No. 3.

Texas has updated the football roster to reflect the change, which is likely for practical purposes rather than aesthetic purposes — when Tucker-Dorsey and senior running back Roschon Johnson appear on the same special teams unit, both players wearing No. 2 required a uniform change for one player and would result in a penalty if they both went onto the field with the same number.
