The habit gets a new name.
Clayton Smith’s position change is the most interesting experiment in college football. He’s a bully in contested catch scenarios and has the potential to be a jump-ball cheat code at tight end. His athleticism landed him on the ‘Freak List’ for college football last season. The goal is to get him comfortable as a pass-catcher, but his route running could use some work. The coaching staff could decide to keep him on offense or move him back to defense.
Because who needs a traditional wide receiver when you can have a 6’4″, 255-pound former defensive end?
