The New Jersey native has moved from running back to safety. Is he built to succeed there?

A number of Virginia football players haved changed positions since Bronco Mendenhall took over last December. That group includes Chris Sharp, a redshirt freshman out of New Jersey. Sharp was originally recruited by Mike London’s staff as a RB after a successful high school career. This spring, however, Sharp moved to safety. He’ll add depth there in 2016 and will likely play a large role in the defensive backfield in 2017 and beyond.
