Why not have him try out both during spring? It worked well for myles jack. I realize Jack got hurt last year but that was after he switched to LB full time so I dont think injury worries should stop this. Jacks freshmen year he was all freshmen at both LB and RB and I dont see how we couldnt rotate this guy in at both seeing we are weak at LB and always rotate RBs

especially since he will be here during spring

He won't get PT at RB next year.

We have Fournette, Guice, Williams, and Brossette. And Ducre is there as well and has a very similar size and skill set.

I think he could be an AA at MLB eventually.

Think about the formations and run options with Fournette and White lined up together in the backfield. He is big enough to be a lead blocker/ FB on one play, and can run or possibly catch out of the backfield. The defense couldn't key on just one back.
