MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Jerry Kill spent his first spring as coach at Minnesota trying to teach his offense and defense to a completely new set of players.
He’s spending part of his second spring with the Golden Gophers trying to make sure all those players are in the right positions. Kill has asked several players to switch positions this season, hoping to maximize the talent he has.
Among those who are making a move include Moses Alipate, a quarterback who is now playing tight end. James Manuel has been moved from safety to linebacker and running back Lamonte Edwards is now playing linebacker.
Kill gets a chance to see how the transition is going on Saturday when the Gophers hold their spring game.
