Position Changes: The New Norm?

Did Frank and the boys get this one right?

Over the past week, two of Virginia Tech's young talents (Yosuah Nijman and Joel Caleb) have changed positions. This is not at all uncommon in college football, but makes me pose the following question: Are position changes made in the best interest of the program or the player? Maybe, both?

Nijman committed to Virginia Tech as a part of the 2015 class, but enrolled in January after spending his Fall semester prepping at Fork Union. The Hokies coaching staff saw him as either a big, power defensive end/tackle hybrid or an athletic offensive tackle.
