Favorite player that was recruited at one position but played another...

Buck Ortega. Think he was recruited as a TE but it felt like he played 15 positions over 8 years.

To me it’s either Sapp or Winston but I’ll go with Sapp cuz he played defense.

Buck Ortega. Think he was recruited as a TE but it felt like he played 15 positions over 8 years.

He was originally a QB when he first got to Miami. He also played linebacker and tight end.

Funny how we stressing about not getting the top rated players at certain position meanwhile some of our best players in history were lightly recruited and played other position in HS. Instead of complaining, our teams of old were very resourceful and didn't let guys with talent rot on the depth chart if they couldn't crack the DL or WR rotation.

Hopefully Manny has the same thinking. Look at Romeo Finely for example. Romeo was just rotting away at the safety spot they moved him to LB and he might be our best LB.

Matt Bosher. Recruited as a K but ended up being a LB

Ray Armstrong corn elder both were ath. Corn mostly played running back in HS but a awesome ath. I think Armstrong played safety here because fans wanted him to be the next st26?

Ray HS film is one of the best films I’ve watched.

Beason. Brought in at FB. Left as an NFL LB.

 

[Ethnicsands]

Ray Lewis - safety - we all know what he ended up,

Dude played lb from the day he played. Dont see him as a position switch.

 

[Ethnicsands]

Beason. Brought in at FB. Left as an NFL LB.

Iirc he played fb to get him on field and based on need, like DJ as a frosh, but he was recruited as a lb.

Anybody remember the story about Jim Kelly? Joe Pa wanted him at LB at Penn State. Came to Miami to play QB and we all know how that ended!
