Very tough at the college level period. Running backwards isn't the same as running forward and the footwork for directional transitions is tough to just ask a kid to do. I am guessing as a WR he has a higher ceiling than Drew Deck who just had to wait for his turn behind the guys who were here last year.Ive actually thought about this in past month or so! Tough to transition to that mid season, but wouldn't be surprised if that's a move in spring ball
I know our staff moved Justin Calhoun in 2017-18 and he looked like a duck out of water to start with but ended up being pretty decent in the end. He was already established as a receiver and the move was more or less due to a lack of good CB options.
