I don't recall Rudy playing both sides of the ball in the same game other than the one game where the switch happened. Of course, my memory isn't what it used to be, but I thought he was a running back. They needed him so he switched in one game and never looked back.

Rudy switched to corner before the 2013 season began as a freshman. He did get a few carries as a RB in the 2013 Western Carolina game where he did quite well but so did everybody else that played in that game. Maybe you are combining Rudy and Trovon Reed's position change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stayed healthy he was likely a top 10 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Jacoby looks like a safety to me. Either that or a big-bodied corner. He could definitely play wide out, I just think he would be well used as a safety here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austudnt23 1,432 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 JS is becoming a name to watch very closely. At worst we are running 2nd. Kid loves the idea of playing both ways. I have been told this will probably end up AU vs UGA battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austudnt23 1,432 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Yeah getting Steven's and Parks would be nice WDE.. I haven't heard much on Parks I will ask about him though since he just visited. To add something about Steven's apparently UAT is very much in the picture also. I just asked about Steven's again about an hour ago and was told that Auburn and UAT are thought to be his top 2 atm but UGA will be a player also.

aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Gordie Lockbaum finished 3d in the 1987 Heisman playing offense, defense & special teams for the College of Holy Cross. If Irvin had not bolted he may eventually have been a terrific two-way candidate IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 That's what he played for us in the one year he was here. He left so quickly it's hard to say - he was recruited on both O or D by several top colleges coming out of high school and I saw him as a Percy Harvin type that (has we chosen to go there) could have been used in many versatile ways. Maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 3 team race between AU, UGA, & LSU. Bama made a massive more the past couple of weeks & likely leeds here unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
