He hasn’t picked a new number yet, so there’s no official answer right now.

Quick Scoop

What’s going on?

  • Mike Evans is expected to join the San Francisco 49ers after his long run wearing No. 13 at Texas A&M and with the Buccaneers.
  • In San Francisco, No. 13 already belongs to quarterback Brock Purdy, and reports say Purdy is very attached to that number, so a swap is considered unlikely.
  • As of the latest reporting in March 2026, Evans has not publicly announced a new jersey number with the 49ers.

Possible numbers being talked about

Nothing is confirmed, but some options have been speculated in news pieces and fan discussions:

  1. A single-digit number
    • Single digits are trendy for star receivers, and reports mention that kind of switch as a possibility.
 * However, No. 1 is already taken on the 49ers’ roster, which limits that specific option.
  1. No. 11 if it opens up
    • Brandon Aiyuk currently wears No. 11, but there has been speculation about the 49ers potentially trading or moving on from him, which could free that number for Evans.
  1. Completely fresh start
    • Some forum and social chatter lean into the idea that Evans might pick something totally new to mark a “new chapter” in San Francisco, but that’s pure fan speculation at this point.

In other words: as of early/mid-March 2026, the only solid info is that he can’t wear 13 in San Francisco, and everything else is rumor and projection.

Short answer

  • Official, confirmed number for Mike Evans with the 49ers: not announced yet.
  • Most accurate thing to say right now: we’re still waiting on the team and Evans to reveal it once the contract and equipment details are finalized.
