The Ohio State football team has had a couple of players change positions in recent days. It shows that the team is ready to do what’s necessary for the greater good.

The Ohio State football team has a lot of talent in some premium positions. One of those positions is at wide receiver. There are so many quality players at that position that the Buckeyes simply can’t play everyone there. So some players have decided to be adaptable and change positions.

As we said yesterday, Demario McCall and Gee Scott Jr. have moved to defensive back and tight end respectively. Neither of these players has any experience at the college level playing these positions, but they are doing it for the greater good of the team.

Ryan Day wants to get the best possible players on the field at one time. These players understand that if they don’t want to get buried in the depth chart, it is also in their best interest to be adaptable. Day loves recruiting players like that.

Scott and McCall aren’t the only players who are being adaptable for the Buckeyes. Marcus Williamson is taking reps only at slot corner after playing some safety last year. He has had a lot of setbacks in his career, so he just wants a chance to play and help the team any way he can.

Day loves recruiting players that can be adaptable like this. Players who are willing to move positions to help the team are extremely valuable in college football. I’m very interested to see how some of these moves end up, specifically Scott Jr. to tight end.

Next. Ryan Day backs Justin Fields. dark

I wouldn’t be surprised to see more players do this in the coming years with as much talent as the Buckeyes accumulate year after year.
