At some point over the past couple of months, two players – Gee Scott Jr. and Demario McCall – came to an Ohio State coach to offer up the idea of a position change.
Oftentimes, like when Cade Stover moved from the defensive side of the ball to tight end, a coach brings the possibility to a player who hears him out. In that instance, head coach Ryan Day talked to the 6-foot-4, 255-pound Ohioan and told him he thought he’d be a natural fit working with Wilson on offense given his body control, explosiveness and toughness at the point of attack and ball skills.
