Technically, there’s not. Licensing restrictions with current NCAA players. You could have one made, I guess, but you’d have to do it unofficially as any company that sells personalized college team sports apparel will not make you a jersey/jersey-tee with a current player’s name and number…

OT, is there a way to order the jersey with a preferred name and number?

Thanks, Dale, for your comment! Yes, I know #3 is unavailable — it was the only jersey back I could find for the graphic I wanted to do, so I took some creative liberty…

Not sure on the other guys. The tryout is only open to UW students…

I also sense, given that Devin Aguilar was considered as a possible walk-on last year that they wouldn’t go through the entire try-out if the answer was going to be Devin, although that’s just me guessing…

Brandon Roy’s jersey was retired, so “3″ unavailable. Percy Allen noted “One name to keep in mind is Husky receiver Devin Aguilar, who was a standout basketball player at Mullen High in Denver. Aguilar considered going out for football (I think he meant “basketball”) last year before the coaching change and decided to focus on football. Aguilar was was the Colorado Class 5A state tournament MVP in 2006 and reportedly had offers from Iowa State, Utah and Wichita State for basketball.”

Couple other footballers, Jermaine Kearse & Kavario Middleton were decent basketball players at Lakes High. No doubt there are other Husky footballers who played high school basketball. Which of them is interested in trying out and has the time for basketball? In football, “invited” walk-ons are common. Is that done in basketball, and could it be done at UW? A high school basketball star who didn’t get a scholarship, sitting at home or even playing for a D2 or D3 or CC team , could he be invited and quickly enrolled so he could walk on? Maybe
