Why is UNC running back Kaleb Jackson wearing No. 62 in practice?

Posted Aug 15, 2026
With one number much higher than it should be, Kaleb Jackson is wearing a number much higher than one would expect from a running back. Like last season at LSU, the running back reported to camp weighing significantly more than he should have. Asked about the jersey choice Friday at a press conference, Belichick said, "Big back, big number." (Tar Heel Tribune)
