#75

Yup. A lineman’s number, number 75, is the most common jersey number for Notre Dame All-Americans. That number has been worn by seven different players: Aaron Taylor, Tim Grunhard, Larry Williams, Greg Marx, Myron Pottios, Bob Toneff, and John Mastrangelo.

Jersey numbers with six All-Americans are: 9, 32, and 85.

Jersey numbers with five All-Americans are: 7, 23, 44, 60, 76, and 81. 7 just made the list after wide receiver Will Fuller’s All-American accolade this past year.

Numbers that have NEVER seen an All-American at Notre Dame are: 11, 13, 15, 17, 26, 29, 35, 45, 53, 62, 68, 87, 91, 92, 93, 95, 98, 99.

What’s interesting, is that if you asked Notre Dame fans what the most sacred number was, I would wager that most would say #3. The number 3 has only had 2 All-Americans in Rick Mirer and Ralph Guglielmi.
