Three years into Demario McCall’s enigmatic career, Ohio State hasn’t figured out the optimal way to deploy him, even though he knows exactly what he wants to be.
He essentially believes he was put on Earth to play running back, and that’s only a slight exaggeration. McCall began playing the position as a 5 year old.
“I don't know how many years that is, I don't really feel like counting, but every single year I've played football, I've been a running back,” McCall said after the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.
But ever since enrolling at Ohio State, McCall has bounced between running back and H-back, never quite finding a home.
