[Husker] Position Changes

[Mike Jaixen]

Surprised that I haven't seen more about this, but
several players are switching positions this spring. 
Of the ones that you may not have heard about:

Dontrell Moore from DE back to SAM linebacker
Dan Erickson from WR to Free Safety (Erickson is
recovering from surgery last week to remove his
appendix)
Jordan Adams from QB to Free Safety
Ty Steinkuhler from DE to DT
Craig Roark from Guard/Center to Nose Tackle

Interesting that Jordan Adams, who the rumor mill
projected as the 2004 starter, is switching positions.
 Today on KOZN Radio, Sean Callahan and Kevin Kugler
discussed that this might be a make-or-break spring
for Harrison Beck.  While Beck certainly has all of
the physical tools to play quarterback in this
offense, there is a growing concern about his
accuracy.  Today, Callhan talked about needing to
recruit 2 or 3 quarterbacks in the upcoming class, and
the thought was that if Beck doesn't show dramatic
improvement, Callahan may look at JuCo's as insurance.
 (One observation was that Beck was only completing
40% of his throws in practice.)  Certainly, nothing
that Beck showed against Kansas State and Colorado
would dispute that assessment; Beck threw one into the
west stands against KSU.
