Cowboys Running Back Ezekiel Elliott Debuts New Look, Dons No. 15

The star running back has shaved his head and trimmed his beard, signaling a return to his college days.

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has debuted a new look, shaving his head and trimming his beard. The new haircut isn't the only throwback look Zeke is going with. The two-time NFL rushing champion has also switched to jersey No. 15, which he wore while playing for Ohio State.

A Return to His Roots

Elliott's new look is a clear nod to his college days. He was a standout player at Ohio State, leading the Buckeyes to a national championship in 2014. He was also the 2015 Doak Walker Award winner as the nation's top running back.

Elliott's decision to switch to No. 15 is also significant. He wore No. 21 during his first three seasons with the Cowboys, but that number is already taken by cornerback Jourdan Lewis. Elliott will now wear the same number he wore when he was one of the most dominant players in college football.

It remains to be seen how Elliott's new look will affect his performance on the field. But one thing is for sure: he's looking to make a statement in 2023.
