I thought that was the position he was recruited at and had been playing in practice?

they will give him every chance to play what he wants to play - if that is indeed RB or FB.

But I have a feeling he ends up as a linebacker eventually , but time will tell . with his size and talent , seems like he should get meaningful snaps somewhere on the field . it’s just that great college running backs are rarely that big - although some have been .

If he wants to make money as a pro , I think it’s on defense

Visual reminder how Rooks is a cornerback and might be the tallest person in this photo.

not that long ago (1980's-1990's) , CB's were the least paid players on an NFL defense, and linebackers were the highest paid
thats all flip flopped around now

BB keeping it real. This is great and it’s infectious on the staff and the players. It sucks that the B1G West is otw out, but this football program is trending up more than any outsider realizes. I wish they would keep the divisions, send Purdue and Northwestern to the East, and add USC and UCLA to the West, because it would create more divisional balance. We can hang with both Cali schools and own that division in the next couple years. We’d still get annual rivalry game with NU(and hopefully Purdue). BB is already resurrecting this football program, and I can’t wait for him to add more ‘ships to his resume.
