5 Must-Have College Football Jerseys After Week 2
The second week of the college football season delivered better matchups, more exciting outcomes, and several standout performances than the first week. Building on our favorites from Week 1, there are five players who football fans must seriously consider supporting with a jersey.
Spending upwards of $150 is a huge investment, but it is officially safe to buy these jerseys. Not only are you in the clear, but you may be getting ahead of the trend. Below are five must-have jerseys after Week 2.
Arch Manning: Texas Longhorns
Online shoppers can buy Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning's Nike home jersey for $139.99 in adult sizes at Fanatics. Detractors have called Manning overrated, but that fourth-quarter comeback against the Ohio State Buckeyes showed that he is the real deal. Also, you can't go wrong with a clean, burnt orange jersey.
Bryce Underwood: Michigan Wolverines
Online shoppers can buy a custom Michigan Wolverines jersey for $139.99 in adult sizes at Fanatics. Currently, Jordan Brand teams don't have the NIL pick-a-player option, but you should be able to get a custom Bryce Underwood jersey.
Drew Mestemaker: Oklahoma State Cowboys
Online shoppers can buy Oklahoma State Cowboys quarterback Drew Mestemaker's Nike alternate home jersey for $139.99 in adult sizes at shop.big12sports.com. Naturally, Mestemaker's jersey sold out almost everywhere after the upset victory against the Oregon Ducks. So, Cowboys fans need to act fast.
Jesse Legree: Oregon State Beavers
Online shoppers can buy Oregon State Beavers wide receiver Jessee Legree's Nike home jersey for $139.99 in adult sizes at shop.osubeavers.com. Legree has been awarded the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week for the second straight week. There is a budding superstar in Corvallis.
Princewill Umanmielen: LSU Tigers
Online shoppers can buy LSU Tigers defensive end Princewill Umanmielen's alternate Nike purple jersey for $139.99 in adult sizes at Fanatics. Umanmielen tallied five tackles (four solo and four for a loss), including three sacks. Every needs Umanmielen's No. 1 jersey.
