The 2021 FCS<\/a> Jersey Countdown is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From May through late August, HERO Sports named the best returning FCS player by jersey number, 99-0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 99-0 countdown central page can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which teams have the most players named, you may be wondering. Or which conferences have the most players represented? Below is the count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many variables when looking at these numbers. Football is, obviously, a team game, and depth matters. Team A having more players than Team B doesn’t mean Team B wouldn’t beat Team A by a few touchdowns. Team B could have a lot of star players who all just wear numbers other All-Americans or NFL prospects also wear. Team A may have standout players wearing numbers that weren’t as competitive. Any number below 25 was loaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the team and conference totals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
