The Bucs have officially doled out all of the jersey numbers for their rostered players heading into the OTAs.

Some of the numbers have been reported earlier by various outlets, but now the list is complete. The following Buccaneers newcomers have been assigned jersey numbers – or in some cases requested them.

ILB Anthony Walker Jr. will wear No. 3
OLB Haason Reddick will wear No. 5
P Jake Julien will wear No. 16
CB Kindle Vildor will wear No. 22
OT Charlie Heck will wear No. 77

As Fox Sports’ Greg Auman reported on X, newcomer Riley Dixon, who is the favorite to win the punting job, was originally assigned No. 9, but has switched to No. 92.

No other Bucs veteran player has switched numbers.
