per ESPN:
We have attempted to come up with the current best player in the country to wear every single jersey number, from 1 to 99. A panel of reporters covering every Power 5 conference nominated players for each number then voted on the best. Some numbers created lots of competition, like the popular No. 5 (Ole Miss' Robert Nkemdiche, Ohio State's Braxton Miller, Florida State's Everett Golson, Georgia Tech's Justin Thomas). Other numbers left us searching high and low for a hero (What in the name of Jerry Rice is up with the drought at No. 80?).
In the end, we came up with the 99 biggest names for all 99 numbers. And here they are:
79 Jonah Pirsig, OT, Minnesota
He has had some trouble staying healthy. But when he's in the lineup, the Gophers' right tackle strikes an imposing presence as a 6-9, 325-pound man mountain. -- B.B.
