Story is about how Kevin King always played CB, was recruited as CB, how Sark switched him on Day 1 and how Petersen is putting him back in his best position.
"King chose Washington, but, as he found out on the first day of Huskies preseason camp in 2013, the Huskies didn’t want him to play corner. He was told during a morning meeting that he would play safety."
"He was brought here to be a corner,” second-year defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake said. “I think in his mind, he wanted to play corner, and a lot of times if that’s what’s at the front of your mind, you’re going to probably play that position a lot better. We put him through some drills and did a few things and we were like, ‘Yeah, this guy can play corner.’ He’s shown it right here.”
Said sophomore safety Budda Baker, who started alongside King last season on the back end of UW’s defense: “I think it was a good decision. He’s real tall. He’s lengthy. Not a lot of receivers are going to be able to get around him, due to his arm span and all that type of stuff, and he’s definitely fast.”
“It’s a little less to think about,” he said. “Safety, you’re the quarterback back there. You’re telling everybody what to do. Corner, that’s mano-a-mano — athletic ability vs. the man in front of you. That’s all about competition. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. That’s how my parents raised me. So that kind of competition, play after play after play, that’s what fuels me.”
Makes me wonder how Sark is fucking up the roster at USC. After 1 year, he's started 2 true frosh OL, moved Cravens from S to LB, and is flipping Adoree Jackson, the best CB in the Pac, to WR.

I admit, though, he was a DDY all-star when he signed. Then we moved him to a position he doesn't want to play, forgot to redshirt him even though he was 6-2, 165 and now here we are!
Funny how that wasn't a recipe for success!
