Steele Chambers has officially changed positions.
After spending the first two years of his Ohio State career at running back, Chambers is now a full-time linebacker for the Buckeyes and has settled in on the defensive side of the ball, Ryan Day said Monday.
Going into preseason camp, Day remained hesitant to say Chambers would change positions, saying at Big Ten Media Days that Chambers has been cross-training at both running back and linebacker and could still play either position for Ohio State. Now that the Buckeyes are five practices into preseason camp, though, Chambers has decided to make the permanent switch to linebacker, and Ohio State's coaches like what they've seen from the third-year Buckeye at his new position.
