No because numbers are assigned according to position. Example, QB's, punters and place kickers are usually 1-19, running backs are 20-49, Wide receivers and tight ends generally are 80-89, offensive guards and tackles 60-79 and centers are 50-69.

Yes, according to University of Southern California Website, their football team has numerous players that play offense with the same number. There are also offense and defense combinations as well as a kicker or two thrown in. http://usctrojans.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/usc-m-footbl-mtt.html

Looking at the North Carolina roster, they have a lot of players with duplicate numbers, but those with the same number are on different platoons--Offense or Defense--or one is a punter or kicker.

Yes they can. Because many college teams have more than 99 players it is common that a defensive and offensive player will have the same number. Also, emmawayne is wrong. Numbers are not assigned by position in college, only in the NFL.
