The No. 25 jersey tradition began under previous head coach Justin Fuente, who opted to give the number on a weekly basis to a play who best-embodied the "BeamerBall" ethos of excellence on special teams and defense. Former head coach Frank Beamer was known for teams that changed games on special teams prior to his retirement after he 2015 season.
