Most successful in BYU football history after a position change?

Wasn't Steve Young a running back for a while early on?

I read his memoir. In the chapter "10000 spirals" he describes how Scovil did

ChurroNieves

7/21/17 11:14am

Scovill left after Young's freshman season

He entered the program as a QB. An asst coach wanted to move him to DB

I thought he was a punter at some point...?

Doman was a WR first

Was a QB first, then WR, then back to QB.

Jim Mcmahon went from a punter to a pretty decent QB

BigYfan

96 punts for a 39 yard average stats show, I had no idea he punted. THanks

Including "greatest punt in BYU history"

What game was that punt in?

I would vote that Mchmahon is "most succesful" in that case, but was he

ChurroNieves

7/21/17 11:18am

well probably, but he was the starting punter in 77

BigYfan

7/21/17 11:22am

There used to be lots of QBs who were also punters, but you never see that today

chilango

7/21/17 11:25am

Hill did do a punt once or twice

ChurroNieves

7/21/17 11:30am

He should have punted on that 4th-and-19 from his own end zone.

Steve Spurrier--Heisman winning QB--a punter in college and in the NFL

84 Grad

7/21/17 11:31am

Danny White used to punt for the Cowboys.

chilango

7/21/17 11:32am

Punting increased total games played, decreasing his per game passing stats

ColoSpgs

7/21/17 3:04pm

Dan Coats: wide receiver to tight end, a position he would play at BYU & the NFL

84 Grad

7/21/17 11:14am

Ziggy, track with no football experience to explosive D-lineman in the NFL

One candidate Is Glenn Titensor

7/21/17 12:02pm

If looking at a switch in the pros, then Todd Christensen would be the winner

84 Grad

7/21/17 12:17pm

Jordan Cameron, bench BBall-All Pro tight end. His sister blew him out of the

not to mention Matt Leinart

True, I was only thinking of the genetics. I forgot about the cash to develop

Dang, 84 Grad got it first. TC has to be the most successful.

Wasn't football, but Danny Ainge was pretty successful switching from 2B to SG.

Not many guys have played in the NBA and MLB. He also played a little 3rd base.
