Eagles give out jersey numbers to their 2024 draft class

The moment you’ve all been waiting for: The Eagles have announced jersey numbers for their 2024 draft class.

The Eagles will kick off their rookie minicamp on Friday afternoon, less than a week after the 2024 draft ended. These rookies will be on the field in their new numbers.

Three of these numbers and names have been seen before in recent Eagles’ history, so that’s fun.

Of course, there’s a good chance these numbers will change after final cuts in August.

But for now, here’s a complete look:

CB Quinyon Mitchell: 30

At Toledo, Mitchell wore No. 27, which is occupied by Zech McPhearson for now. McPhearson has had the number 27 since he was drafted in the fourth round in 2021. Brian Mitchell also wore 30 once.

Here’s a history of No. 30 with the Eagles: Justin Evans (2023), JaCoby Stevens (2021), Corey Clement (2017-20), Ed Reynolds (2015), Colt Anderson (2010-13), Geoff Pope (2009), J.R. Reed (2004, 2007-08), Brian Mitchell (2000-02), Charlie Garner (1995-98), Otis Smith (1991-94), Chris Johnson (1987), Don Calhoun (1982), Cleveland Franklin (1977-78), Mike Hogan (1980), Ron Lou (1975), Joe Lavender (1973-75), Jim Raye (1969), Alvin Haymond (1968), Theron Sapp (1959-63), Bosh Pritchard (1942, 1946-49, 1951), Milton Smith (1945), Richard Erdlitz (1945), John Binotto (1941), Mort Lansberg (1941), Don Looney (1940), Harry Benson (1935), Barnes Milton (1934), Chuck Brodnicki (1934), Art Koeninger (1933)

At Iowa, DeJean wore No. 3, so he’ll double it up in the NFL. In Philly, 2023 first-round pick Nolan Smith has the No. 3.

WR Ainias Smith: 82

At Texas A&M, Smith rocked the No. 0, which was put into use in the NFL last season. In its first year, D’Andre Swift wore it but it has since been claimed by newcomer Bryce Huff. If you have your old Torrey Smith No. 82 jersey, feel free to break it out.

Here’s a history of No. 82 with the Eagles: Devon Allen (2023), John Hightower (2020-21), Richard Rodgers (2019), Torrey Smith (2017), Emil Igwenagu (2013), Clay Harbor (2010-12), Alex Smith (2009), L.J.

LB Jeremiah Trotter Jr.: 54

This one is pretty cool. Trotter gets his dad’s old number and a legacy to carry with him. Right after getting drafted, Trotter Jr. said he wanted No. 54 and now he has it. He also wore it at Clemson.

Here’s a history of No. 30 with the Eagles: Shaun Bradley (2020-23), Kamu Grugier-Hill (2016-19), Jake Knott (2013), Brandon Graham (2010-23), Tracy White (2008-09), Jeremiah Trotter (1998-01, 04-06), Nate Wayne (2003), Tyreo Harrison (2002), Jeff Herrod (1997), DeShawn Fogle (1997), Terry Crews (1996), Kurt Gouveia (1995), Britt Hager (1989-94), Kelly Kirchbaum (1987), Alonzo Johnson (1986-87), Jon Kimmel (1985), Zach Valentine (1982), Drew Mahalic (1976-78), Jim Opperman (1975), Tom Roussel (1973), Chuck Allen (1972), Calvin Hunt (1970), Gene Ceppetelli (1968-69), Jim Ringo (1964-67), Bill Lapham (1960), Gerry Huth (1959)

OL Trevor Keegan: 79

At Michigan, Keegan wore No. 77, which has been taken by free agent pickup Matt Hennessy. But 79 is a solid number in Philly that has been a solid OL pick from Todd Herremans to Brandon Brooks.

Here’s a history of No. 79 with the Eagles: Brandon Brooks (2016-21), Tanner Hawkinson (2015), Todd Herremans (2005-14), Ian Allen (2004), Jim Flanigan (2003), Jeremy Slechta (2002), Greg Jefferson (1995-99), Mike Finn (1994), Mike Schad (1989-93), Joe Connell (1986-887), Rusty Russell (1984), Frank Giddens (1981-82), Manny Sistrunk (1976-79), Mitch Sutton (1974-75), Lane Howell (1965-69), Gene Gossage (1960-62), Lum Snyder (1958), Buck Lansford (1955-57), Vic Sears (1941-53)

OL: Dylan McMahon: 63
