It is no secret that Jamell Fleming would wear the number 12 to honor Austin Box at some point this season, it was just a matter of when. Had Oklahoma stuck with the notion that the best Defensive performer wore it the following week, Fleming should have had this honor a while back but the cards will fall as they may. However, it is now the time for Jamell Fleming to don the garb and represent his teammate against the Iowa St. Cyclones.
One thing to note is that this leaves only one player yet to have the honor. That player is Tony Jefferson who will undoubtedly wear the #12 against the Oklahoma St. Cowboys.
