Of course he was, here's the evidence

"Recruited out of high school to play quarterback," - http://www.deseretnews.com/top/1673/8/Brian-Blechen.html

"Blechen was initially surprised when they asked how he felt about playing safety," - http://articles.latimes.com/2011/sep/06/sports/la-sp-brian-blechen-utah-20110907

Surprised because he had been recruited to play QB.

Oh yeah, there's this from the OFFICIAL Utah Football page

"recruited to play quarterback" - http://www.utahutes.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/brian_blechen_702110.html

Interesting Chase Hansen tidbit

Utah's model has been to tell kids they get a shot QB until they get on campus.

Blueto

9/30/14 1:10pm

Actually that isn't true. It is a myth perpetrated by BYU fans.

*perpetrated by KWhitt's actions

Fine give me examples of players

Never recruited as a QB. Also a Meyer recruit.

mpfunk

9/30/14 1:30pm

Brian Blechen was recruited as a QB

runnincoug

9/30/14 1:28pm

No he wasn't.

mpfunk

Boom. Dang that had to hurt.

Funk is a smart guy, but is wrong more often than

Sooo...Funk - Was he, or wasn't he???

well, that seems to have shut him up.

And that was the last they heard of mpfunk; legend says he became a BYU fan

I was wrong about Blechen.

Sad day to see a fellow BYU grad like funk get smacked like that.

Shimmy

9/30/14 4:07pm

OUCH. That's the best smackdown I've seen on CB in a long time

TrueAndBlue

9/30/14 5:08pm

Blechen was offered as a QB at the Utah camp.

hanzelka

9/30/14 4:49pm

Unlike Whitt who moves them all to other positions & doesn't backfill the depth

icecougar

9/30/14 6:47pm

I spent the spring game before Hansen left sitting next to his family

hanzelka

9/30/14 4:52pm

Chad Manis too. These are just the obvious ones.

runnincoug

9/30/14 1:31pm

Manis was a QB for several seasons.

mpfunk

9/30/14 3:34pm

Actually just one season (3 games), and one season as a redshirt

runnincoug

9/30/14 3:37pm

Paul Kruger. Devonte Booker.

Blueto

9/30/14 1:31pm

Kruger was a QB for an entire season

mpfunk

9/30/14 3:36pm

I think he meant Devontae Christopher...

icecougar

9/30/14 6:49pm

Booker wasn't recruited as a QB, he was a running back at a junior college.

hanzelka

9/30/14 4:46pm

Star Lotulelei

maxpowers

9/30/14 1:33pm

Chase Hansen (but now it's in doubt if he'll get a shot)

TheDeek

9/30/14 1:35pm

That's because Whit isn't going to want to start a Cougar at QB

JamesDean

9/30/14 4:03pm

Devonte Christopher- wow you are losing this argument badly

BigYfan

9/30/14 1:55pm

Christopher was a QB for a full season.

mpfunk

9/30/14 3:33pm

How kind of Whitt for letting him pretend to be a QB

BigYfan

9/30/14 4:57pm

Kyle Brady

joehayes

9/30/14 1:59pm

Previous coaching staff.

mpfunk

Dovante Christopher

BYU Grounds

9/30/14 2:04pm

Kyle Brady was a RB and lasted 1 day before they put him at Safety

BYU Grounds

9/30/14 2:05pm

MPFunk asked only about QBs changing positions, but here's some more

southernfriedcougar

9/30/14 3:12pm

By the way prove that they were promised

mpfunk

9/30/14 3:37pm

sigh....here's the words out of Kyle Whittingham's mouth

runnincoug

9/30/14 3:43pm

So he admits they will change positions

mpfunk

9/30/14 3:46pm

What they tell the media apparently isn't what they are telling recruits

runnincoug

9/30/14 3:53pm

Give it a rest funky you are making yourself look silly

Robles: QB to LB

Thrill

9/30/14 5:44pm

After being a QB for several seasons.

mpfunk

9/30/14 5:56pm

You know Chase is coming to BYU, right?

JamesDean

9/30/14 6:08pm

Paul Krueger. Went to high school with him.

9/30/14 6:15pm

The LB from Tooele.

Rocketman

9/30/14 10:03pm

Whitt doesn't do that. Signed, Paul Kruger

icecougar

9/30/14 6:31pm

You mean a player that was recruited by Urban Meyer?

mpfunk

10/1/14 10:16am

And then those kids end up having great careers. See Kruger and Devonte

truecoug1

9/30/14 1:26pm

Utah is up front with kids.

hanzelka

9/30/14 4:46pm

Kimmel reads CB. Nice to know

9/30/14 1:11pm

Kimmel is well-connected.

flavordave

9/30/14 1:28pm

Whit's starting to play the "it'll hurt your recruiting" if you fire me card.

9/30/14 1:11pm

Because it will. I would LOVE to see Whitt fired for this reason...

teancum

9/30/14 1:15pm

And send Sitake away as well.

kccougar

9/30/14 1:21pm

why?

digitalayon

9/30/14 2:11pm

Because Sitake is the lifeblood of Utah recruiting. Send him to Provo

kccougar

9/30/14 2:14pm

Not sure he plays QB at BYU either though.

lawboy

9/30/14 1:17pm

Utah did not sign an Elite 11 kid. He attended an Elite 11 regional camp

darkcoug

9/30/14 1:20pm

Utah didn't sign an elite 11 kid. He will play DE/TE according to reports.

9/30/14 1:20pm

I'd definitely give Chase a shot at QB

Downtown

My opinion (I am not an insider, but not wholly on the outside either)

StealingHome

9/30/14 1:27pm

BYU might be more interested in him at QB now though. He was originally told he

joehayes

9/30/14 1:38pm

They did not have any plans on him going to QB.

Flyski

I see one more win (Colorado). If OSU was at home, I would say they had a 50/50

SurfCoug

The statistician in me disagrees with you

teancum

this is what they said as soon as Langi rumors started surfacing (RBvsLB)
