Was Spears recruited recruited at DT and moved to DE? That's kind of an open question for most high school DL. If he was recruited to OL and went to DE that would be different.


But definitely on Reed.

Corey Webster. He's the reason the DBU moniker began.

Livvy is an All-American tight end if I've ever seen one.

Along with Reed, Devery Henderson was also recruited as a rb.

I was not aware of that. Didn't really follow recruiting in the dark ages. Everyday is a school day.

he comes to mind...recruited as a running back but so smooth as a WR...

Would have loved to see Trindon Holiday at DE.

Also, it still bogles my mind that Russell Shepard didn't throw a pass while at LSU...

Kyle Kipps started as a TE, wound up a DE.

Reed, Webster.

Arguably top five in their positions.

He was recruited as a DE but wanted to try offense first so they let him. He was always going to end up on the DL eventually.

Karnell Hatcher - Safety converted to LB
Jontre Kirklin was a DB when recruited IIRC

Les tried recruiting Jamarr as a DB for awhile
