Tennessee released a revised roster on Friday afternoon with a handful of players listed with new jersey numbers.

A total of 13 players, including three non-scholarship players, have new numbers, including some potential starters and difference-makers on both sides of the ball.

The number changes are likely a result of the Vols finalizing special teams roles. While rosters can have duplicate numbers — and Tennessee's has plenty of those — players with the same jersey numbers can't be on the field at the same time. Doing so will result in a 5-yard penalty, as Maryland found out when it had two players wearing No. 57 on its protection unit for an extra point against Texas in its season opener in 2017.

Here is a full list of the Tennessee players who changed jersey numbers:

> Running back Ty Chandler switched from No. 3 to No. 8.

> Tight end Dominick Wood-Anderson switched from No. 18 to No. 4.

> Outside linebacker Jonathan Kongbo switched from No. 1 to No. 99.

> Wide receiver Josh Palmer switched from No. 5 to No. 84.

> Freshman cornerback Bryce Thompson switched from No. 10 to No. 20.

> Freshman defensive lineman Kingston Harris switched from No. 51 to No. 54.

> Kicker Brent Cimaglia switched from No. 30 to No. 42.

> Outside linebacker Austin Smith switched from No. 11 to No. 30.

> Cornerback D.J. Henderson switched from No. 31 to No. 39.

> Defensive lineman Matthew Butler switched from No. 56 to No. 94.

> Walk-on wide receiver Malik Elion switched from No. 34 to No. 89.

> Walk-on outside linebacker Nyles Gaddy switched from No. 42 to No. 57.

> Walk-on inside linebacker Nick Humphrey switched from No. 39 to No. 44.

Typically with duplicate numbers on rosters, the two players play on opposite sides of the football, but there are two instances on Tennessee's roster where that now isn't the case.

Sophomore Maleik Gray, who moved from defensive back to wide receiver during the first week of preseason camp, wears the same number (No. 4) as Wood-Anderson, and redshirt freshman tight end James Brown shares the No. 84 with Palmer.

The Vols also have three players listed with two jersey numbers, No. 8 and No. 20.

Sharing Chandler's No. 8 are outside linebacker Jordan Allen and wide receiver Latrell Williams, and sharing Thompson's No. 20 are fellow defensive back Cheyenne Labruzza and walk-on wide receiver Bryce Collier.

Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt said this week he's not opposed to playing starting offensive and defensive players on special teams units, which could explain some higher-profile players swapping numbers.

“I think we need to play our best players,” Pruitt said after Wednesday’s practice. “The way I look at is if you’re not a good special teams player, then you’re probably not a good offensive or defensive player.

“There have been many a times, over the years, where we punt the football and have a couple gunners out there that are hard to block, because of their ability. Maybe they’re fast or whatever. We’ve rested them on defense when their our best players just so they could play on punt team.
