Arizona State road football jersey worn by star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during his junior season in 2018. The white knit jersey features the number 2 on the front, reverse, and each sleeve. "Aiyuk" is lettered upon a white name plate on the reverse, directly above the number. All letters are applied in black tackle twill, while all numerals are applied in maroon on gold tackle twill. A Pac 12 patch appears on the upper left breast/shoulder and the school initials, "ASU," are lettered on the reverse above Aiyuk's name. Aiyuk signed the jersey in silver paint pen (grading 8/10) on the reverse number 2, adding the notation "GU 19" at the base of the numeral. Our consignor received this jersey directly from Aiyuk many years later, at which time Aiyuk signed it (Aiyuk's college helmet is also offered in this auction). Despite the inscription, this jersey dates from the 2018 season, as the 2019 ASU jersey was a different style. The jersey is original as issued and displays moderate wear.
Aiyuk had 33 receptions for 474 yards during his junior season, which was his first season at ASU (his first two years in college were spent at Sierra College). Selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, Aiyuk has developed into one of the game's top wide receivers. This past season he recorded a career high 1,342 receiving yards to help lead the 49ers to NFC Championship game.
