I kind of agree. That said, more power to him and perhaps he will be quite successful. Certainly at the RB position the press clippings make pretty clear that behind Lucky, Helu is really, really looking good. In addition, we all know that Q Castille is a horse. So... the likely scenario is that Cody would, as a senior, be behind Luky/Castille and Helu --- and a # 4 will get precious few snaps --- even as a situational power/short yardage guy Castille will likely get the call. So, from Cody's perspective it would be stay at RB and have very, very little hope of routine snaps --- perhaps going complete a complete game or multiple games without seeing the field (unless some of the RB's get hurt) or.... give it a shot at playing an OLB position where we really do not have an established guy out there. Blake Lawrence has little experience but may be a front runner. After that Latravis Washington has had essentially no experience and struggles with weight and perhaps speed issues (and is maybe going to, as a result, be a DE). Stafford is under weight and has had no experience whatsoever. Compton is in HS and the others, perhaps promising, were walk ons. So for Cody the probability of seeing the field, even with a switch of positions competing for either of two positions with Lawrence, Stafford, Washington, Compton and several walk ons is better than trying to unseat Lucky/Castille/Helu for one position.I just don't know if this was a good move by Cody.
He's got a lot of work to do. Going into his senior year and having never played that position before. I just don't know if he'll be able to perform at the Big XII level.
I guess we'll see how it goes, but he's going to have to work his butt off.
From this perspective, the move makes sense. I hope the young man prospers
