It would be a really cool story if he ends up making an impact. He has size and athleticism. He also seems to have a great attitude. I hope it works out.

You are right. Forgot about McNeely.
Why would we not use our most explosive player DQ James? DQ should be getting half the snaps IMO.
Agree
- I thought he should have got more touches last year.

The Caden Becker move is definitely interesting. He had excellent athletic scores, and I live in omaha and saw him live a few times. He was always a better athlete than just a passer. If he still wants to be a quarterback then I wouldn't be surprised if a transfer announcement may be coming.
I'm intrigued on Evan Svaboda who Bohl praised quite a bit. If you watch highlights, he definitely has a lot of arm talent. I was hoping he would win the starting job or backup last year. Bohl said he is going to get a lot of looks in spring practices, and I would love to see an open competition for starter, but I think that is nailed down for Peasley regardless of shay anybody does.
I can't recall seeing a QB to defensive end change anywhere before. It is very intriguing. But he might just be a guy that wants to get on the field and let it fly (which is great for a defensive end but not so great for a QB).
He requested the change to the D.

I don’t disagree because we should be finding other ways to get him the ball but he did get injured with the current number touches. I think Harrison and Dawaiian should get most of the carries and we should design plays around DQ. He’d be a great decoy for counters to his designed play.

Becker has the skills imo to be a really good player on defense. He posted some weightlifting videos on twitter and it's impressive. Thought it was going to be a Levi Williams situation with him getting huge and pushing cars and making videos and then sucking at playing QB, but the position switch is good to see. I have heard he is one of the faster players on the team regardless of position - all at 230 lbs or whatever he is.

If we’re going to have a qb that cant throw, might as well have a big freak athlete.

Even more shocking is according to the Casper Star's article he was asked to change positions due to his lack of passing accuracy . I really wonder why defensive end was where they moved him, why not tight end or line backer given his reported speed and size?

Who would have thought a QB that completed 40% of his passes in HS would have accuracy issues.

As odd as it seems……at many college football teams they do use the qb to throw. Seems odd.
