Serious question, D. Lee

He 100% needs to become an OLB/Safety hybrid like Jacoby. That position is of growing importance in the NCAA and NFL with these spreads and RPOs. You need very athletic OLBs that can cover and have ball skills.

Not sure if Pelini will use that as much in the 4/3 though.

He wants to be a receiver, the staff wants him at safety. O honored his word and is trying him at receiver.

taking that extra wide receiver over a S has me wondering.

This has nothing to do with Devonta Lee. We only took two receivers last year. We should be taking three at a minimum EVERY year.

We loaded up at defensive back last year, signing five. So we slightly oversigned DBs and undersigned wide receivers last year. The only reason to move Lee is if that's his better position.

His cousin said several times on 247 Lee is switching to defense. Said he wanted to try WR first but is now switching

Adams plays safety too, some teams recruited him as a safety and he apparently is a good one.

I assume Adams will be a wr at LSU, but both he and Lee have the skills to play on either side of the ball.

Last I had read is they asked Lee last year to play safety and he wanted to stay at wide out. Maybe the depth chart has changed that. I would think Lee finds the field faster at safety, not because he cant play wide out but because of the numbers.

Lee said himself he's going into spring as a WR. I think it's a 50/50 chance he changes positions. I think he can be a really good WR so give him a chance.

I spoke to someone that's close with him. I know the guy well. His son is actually being recruited by LSU. He told me in order for D. Lee to commit they promised him a shot at WR because that's what he wanted to play. Bama told him he would not be a WR. It looks like to me they are doing everything to give him that shot.

Avery Atkins gonna handle kickoffs and play safety. We got this
