The new digits for Penn State hoops have been revealed.
The Nittany Lions on Tuesday afternoon announced jersey numbers for the 2026-27 season, which features an almost-entirely revamped roster. Notably, Croation forward Roko Prkačin and French forward François Wibaut were the only players not included.
Central Connecticut transfer guard Jay Rodgers will wear No. 1, which he wore with the Blue Devils. The number was owned by Mason Blackwood last season, but he transferred to St. Bonaventure. Forward Ivan Jurić, one of just three returning players, will retain his No. 3. Wrapping up the single digits, walk-on freshman guard Grant Spacciapolli will don No. 5 next season, which was previously worn by Freddie Dilione V who since transferred to Georgia.
Aleksander Zečević, a freshman forward from Serbia, will wear No. 10, while returning guard Reggie Grodin will keep his No. 12. Alabama Huntsville transfer guard Thomas Allard will rock No. 14 after wearing No. 3 at his previous school, while Miami (Ohio) transfer forward Brant Byers will keep No. 22.
Returning forward Chris Lotitio will stick with No. 30, while Buffalo transfer forward Timothy Oboh will wear No. 33, the same number he had with the Bulls. Rounding out the group is Davidson transfer guard Roberts Blums, who will wear No. 45, his usual number and the highest on the team.
