One of the more low key developments following Notre Dame’s win over Bowling Green this weekend was Brian Kelly telling the media that sophomore Houston Griffith moved to safety and freshman wide receiver Cam Hart moved to cornerback. The moves, though minor on the surface, make a lot of sense for Notre Dame both presently and even more so in the future.
Houston Griffith came to Notre Dame ass a top-100 prospect as a corner, but many felt safety was the position where he could make a more significant impact. When he reported to campus as an early enrollee in early 2018, Griffith got some work at safety before ultimately moving to nickel when Shaun Crawford suffered a torn ACL in the final days of fall camp 2018.
