Georgia wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell (26) runs the ball during an NCAA college football game against Auburn Saturday, Nov. 12, 2011 in Athens, Ga.Georgia football coach Mark Richt has heard the offseason speculation regarding personnel changes.
Sophomore receiver Malcolm Mitchell aiding a depleted cornerback position. Senior tailback Richard Samuel moving to fullback. Sophomore outside linebacker Ray Drew switching to defensive end.
Is any of it legit? Perhaps all of it, Richt said Thursday.
“We have got to make sure that we take the entire talent base of our football team and get the best players out there in whatever situations that we need them in,” Richt said. “If that means a guy playing both ways or two positions on defense — whatever we’ve got to do to get the best players on the field. We’ve got to take advantage of everybody’s abilities.”
The Bulldogs will start spring practice March 20. The G-Day game is scheduled for April 14 at 2 p.m.
