Rueben Bain Jr.'s Bucs Jersey Number Revealed in New Photo After Being 1st-Round Pick in NFL Draft

Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans hoping to get Rueben Bain Jr.'s jersey now know what number he will be wearing during his rookie season.

Tampa Bay revealed Monday that Bain will wear No. 3:

Bain wore No. 4 at Miami when he was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year and an All-American who led the Hurricanes to the College Football Playoff national championship game.

Tampa Bay saw enough to select him with the No. 15 overall pick of the 2026 NFL draft, and B/R's NFL Scouting Department gave the NFC South team an "A+" grade for the selection.

Now he will look to live up to expectations while wearing a new number in the NFL.
