I remember him better as a receiver than CB in college.  Like you, I didn't remember him as a star on defense and I didn't understand the reasoning behind switching him to D when he was one of our best options at receiver.

Had similar thoughts at the time re: Sherman's position arc at Stanford and going forward.  But in the category of "crazy what sticks out in memory banks" is this:  there was a video Stanford put out of Sherman and another player (either a CB or a WR) where they were jogging in place in front of the camera and revealed great hip flexibility (and I think they commented on that during the video).  Anyway, I distinctly remember thinking at that time "Sherman may make it as a CB in the NFL after all . . ."
