Panthers reveal new jersey numbers for 2025 rookies & free agents

Carolina’s newest faces now have their numbers—here’s the full breakdown of which digits the Panthers’ rookies and free agents will wear heading into 2025.

In the NFL, a jersey number is more than just a digit—it’s a declaration. And for the Carolina Panthers’ 2025 rookies and new acquisitions, their chosen numbers are a first glimpse into the identities they’ll build in Charlotte.

With offseason workouts heating up and training camp on the horizon, Carolina has officially unveiled jersey assignments for its latest arrivals—bringing a fresh sense of energy, and a few nods to college roots.

Among the most anticipated debuts, third-round linebacker Trevin Wallace will wear No. 32, the same number he wore at Kentucky, where he racked up 80 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 2023. It’s a symbol of continuity for a player Carolina expects to contribute quickly on defense.

Fifth-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, a standout from Arizona, will sport No. 4, aiming to bring the same vertical threat that made him a Big 12 star last season with 1,319 receiving yards and 8 touchdowns.

Speedster Jimmy Horn Jr. lands at No. 15, giving Panthers fans flashbacks of another quick-footed slot receiver—though Horn is set on blazing his own path after a productive run at Colorado.

Wide receiver Hunter Renfrow, returning to football after a year away for health reasons, will don No. 13, the same number he wore during his standout days in Las Vegas. Known for his precise routes and third-down dependability, Renfrow’s number choice feels like a personal reset.

Free agency saw a mix of veterans picking familiar digits and making fresh starts. Former Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle shifts to No. 5, a lean, explosive look that matches his style. Meanwhile, Tre’von Moehrig, who initially took No. 23, now switches to No. 7, signaling a reset from his time in Las Vegas.

The complete free agent and rookie number assignments include:

• WR Tetairoa McMillan - No. 4

• RB Rico Dowdle – No. 5

• P Sam Martin – No. 6

• OLB Nic Scourton - No. 11

• WR Hunter Renfrow - No. 13

• WR Jimmy Horn Jr. - No. 15

• S Lathan Ransom - No. 22

• RB Trevor Etienne - No. 23.

• CB MJ Devonshire Jr. – No. 28

• OLB Princely Umanmielen - No. 33

• K Matthew Wright – No. 37

• OLB Boogie Basham – No. 54

• LB Christian Rozeboom – No. 56

• DT Cam’Ron Jackson - No. 76

• WR Brycen Tremayne – No. 87

• OLB Patrick Jones II – No. 91

• DT Tershawn Wharton – No. 92

• DT Bobby Brown III – No. 97

These numbers may not guarantee roster spots, but they mark a critical first step in a new chapter. For these players, the digits on their backs are now stitched with expectations—and opportunity.
