Arizona State sophomore Eno Benjamin played running back in a conventional offense during his first three years at Wylie East High School in Texas. But then-coach Joe Lepsis had a problem finding a quarterback prior to Benjamin's senior year. After a few weeks of practice, the situation had yet to resolve itself so Benjamin went to Lepsis and asked to change positions.
Lepsis scoffed at the idea at first. But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
“He said to me, ‘No one knows the offense better than I do,’ ” Lepsis said.
