I remember jersey #18. I didn't know that jersey #7 was a big deal like 18.
Well, it really isn't. Patrick Peterson, obviously a legend at LSU from 2008-2010, personally asked Tyrann Mathieu, who wore #14 in 2010 as a freshman, to take on his #7 jersey when he left for the NFL.
Given all of the success that Mathieu had in 2011, there has been chatter among fans that perhaps the #7 jersey would become a tradition the way #18 did when Matt Mauck handed his number down to Tiger legend Jacob Hester to such success.
Mathieu's controversial exit from BR has left that idea unexplored though, and #7 has been unworn for the 2012 and 2013 season.
I only really mentioned the #7 because of Jarvis' potential to be the inspirational fire of this team the way Peterson always was in his time at LSU and Mathieu certainly was in 2011.
He has that same intensity and obviously his impact on the field is worthy of carrying on the legacy of those guys.

7 is also a big deal because it's the number sold and worn by fans.
