Penn State fans looking to pick up another jersey of a former Nittany Lion in the NFL now know what jersey number defensive end Odafe Oweh will wear with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens announced their rookie uniform numbers on Wednesday, including a new number for Oweh as he begins his career in the NFL.
Oweh will wear No. 99 for the Baltimore Ravens. It is unknown if Oweh wanted to wear the same number he wore for the Nittany Lions (No. 28), but Oweh’s old number with the Nittany Lions is already in use in Baltimore. Jordan Richards currently owns the No. 28 on the Ravens roster.

According to the updated NFL uniform policy, linebackers in the NFL are permitted to wear a uniform number from 1-59 and 90-99. Oweh, who will be utilized as an outside linebacker by the Ravens, was out of luck on this one.
Former Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons, who was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, will take advantage of the NFL’s new relaxed uniform number code and wear No. 11 for the Cowboys. Parsons also wore No. 11 at Penn State.
Baltimore selected Oweh with the No. 31 pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
