Wilks has already been moved to LB.

Two of Tennessee's starting LBs (Ellix and either McKenzie or Myers-White) will have been recruited as safeties coming out of high school or JUCO.

Walter Fisher came in as an undersized speed rusher at DE (he's now a DT)

Chris Walker came in as a LB.

Andre Mathis came in as a LB.
Ayers was a LB, too.

Antonio Gaines from RB to CB.
Dennis Rogan from RB to CB.
Tony McDaniel from DE to DT.
James Turner from RB to LB.
Jakouri Williams has been moved about 100 times.
Vlad Richards was moved from DE to DT to OG.

There's a ton more I could list. Tennessee is known for changing players positions to better suit the player.

I know what his name is, it was a typo. He also played OG. And if my memory is correct played some TE in a special package one year.

Well he was from my high school, and I know that his senior year, he was projected as one of the top senior centers for the ensuing draft. Injuries hurt him something awful, though.

Sorry about that, you had the majority of those as "from-to" but that was "to-from". I just got confused on how you meant it to be read.

The biggest move was one

Al Wilson came to UT as a Safety then some coach moved him to LBer and we all know the rest of that story.

or how about Little moved from DE to LB

TB NYSHIER OLIVER (5-10/170), Jersey City (N.J.) St. Peter's Prep
FARRELL'S PLAYER OF THE WEEK
CONSIDERING
: Notre Dame, Boston College, Tennessee, Rutgers, Wake Forest
PERFORMANCE: Oliver rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown on eight carries in a 35-0 shutout of Plainfield (N.J.) High in a scrimmage.
STRENGTHS: Oliver has excellent burst and is a patient runner. He has good vision and isn't afraid to run inside. He is deceptively strong and can gain extra yardage after first contact. He flashed his speed to the outside on his touchdown run. He also played defense and was solid in coverage and is a physical tackler.
WEAKNESSES: Oliver doesn't have great size and likely can't handle 20-plus carries in college, which is why some schools are looking at him as a slot receiver and others want him as a cornerback. He doesn't catch the ball too often in the St. Peter's offense, so his hands could be a question mark. - M.F
