* Services considered Adebo as a WR (heck, ESPN had him as top 100 player and a top 15 WR in the class), a CB, and an ATH, but he'll at least start out at CB for us.
The WR depth chart is a little thin, and we use a surprisingly large number of these considering how few receptions they get. By my count we have six returning scholarship players at the position, only two of whom have caught more than 2 career passes.
But, we do have St. Brown in this class and apparently other than Adebo no CBs.
247 lists Adebo as a CB. When he was a und commit there was considerable discussion as to which side of the ball he would ultimately play.
Quote:* Dumani was primarily listed as an OLB on the services, but we have him as an inside linebacker.
* Stu Head might ultimately play ILB for us, but for now, he's a safety.
As you've seen here, folks are concerned that we haven't recruited anyone (else) listed at ILB for two classes now. Dumani is really the class of 2019, so not an immediate answer. It would seem likely that somebody is going to switch position - Head or someone else.
Quote:* When he committed, Wedington noted we were looking at him for a McCaffrey-type role on offense (some services thought he might play CB), and that seems confirmed by listing him as a RB/WR and not settling on one position.
Hope he's good for that, he's certainly quick.
If not, hope they design the offense in another fashion.
