FAYETTEVILLE -- The move of McTelvin Agim from defensive end to nose guard last week is a delicate subject, as the quick-twitch junior has voiced a preference to play end, where he has strong pass-rushing skills.
Defensive coordinator John Chavis wanted to see what the 6-3, 280-pounder looked like on the inside next to T.J. Smith, who was also an end last season. Experimentation with defensive linemen and how they produce inside or out is nothing new, and it's similar to the search for Agim's ideal position done by the Bret Bielema coaching staff. On the current roster, Briston Guidry, Jake Hall and Jonathan Marshall have all worked inside and outside.
