Not only is Braxton Miller changing his position with the Ohio State Buckeyes this year, but also his number. Making the transition from quarterback to receiver, Miller will switch his uniform number from No. 5 to No. 1. 

Earlier this offseason, Miller announced the switch from quarterback to wide receiver. Now when Miller takes the field on Sept. 7 at Virginia Tech, he'll also don the new number. 

“I changed my number because I feel like it’s a change for me, my family and Buckeye Nation. I just wanted a new start, restarting myself, and I don’t want to remember what happened a couple years ago with my shoulder situation," Miller told Austin Ward. "I’ve got some bad memories, so I just wanted something where I could move forward and look forward to with the excitement of a new beginning."

Redshirt freshman Johnnie Dixon currently wears No. 1 on the Buckeyes roster. 

The Buckeyes began training camp Monday, in preparation for the 2015 season. Ohio State looks to defend it's Big Ten and national championships this year.
