LSU star receiver Ja'Marr Chase is switching from No. 1 to No. 7 this season, leaving his old number open to two of LSU's high-profile incoming freshman, cornerback Elias Ricks and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte of New Iberia Westgate. Sophomore linebacker Marcel Brooks will keep No. 9, which he shared with Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Joe Burrow last season. No offensive player will wear No. 9 this season, however. LSU has also not yet announced which player or players will wear the coveted No. 18 this season. - Baton Rouge Advocate
