The WVU football team has an interesting mix of young players and veterans. It’s customary for a younger player to move around but now some veterans are seeing new spots.

On Wednesday, WVU football coach Dana Holgorsen announced that three players will be switching positions. This isn’t a drastic move, but one that may be necessary to put the Mountaineers in the best positions to win games.

Holgorsen wants to utilize the most of his talent and by putting these three players in different positions, he gives them power to get better. Also, he trusts these guys to adapt to the surroundings and make the most of this opportunity.

The three players are Derrek Pitts, Dravon Askew-Henry and Dylan Tonkery. Here is a close look at these players and how the moves will affect them.
