When Marcus Satterfield walked into the running back meeting last week, Zaire Williams was missing.
The offensive coordinator was unaware that the redshirt-sophomore had made the switch from running back to linebacker.
“We’ve been talking about how to get him on the field because he is such an infectious personality,” Satterfield said. “He competes and coach [Matt] Rhule said ‘go to linebacker I think you can be great and if you stink, we will put you back at running back.’”
Satterfield said he expects Williams to be able to have a successful transition to the defensive side of the ball.
