James Hendricks moved to Safety
Coach K just said to Jeff on today's radio show that James is being moved to safety from QB. I think this was being speculated on here earlier in January. Makes sense after taking a scholarship QB (Van Dellen and Hotchkiss) and a walk-on QB(Nava and Sanders) in both of the last two classes.

I think incoming QBs have seen they will be put in the best position to contribute based on what they do.
Can only have one starting QB at a time. This is a good move.
Re: James Hendricks moved to Safety
I love that NDSU is not moving every QB immediately, now. Wonder if that is a change after missing on Christion? I am sure when those guys see the writing on the wall, it is not a hard decision to change positions at that point.

Best way for James to see the field.
Re: James Hendricks moved to Safety
Probably a great move for James. Hope to see him on the field!

QB's are almost always great football minds and great athletes. Just like Esley Thorton

Will he even see the field? NDSU is also recruiting better athletes specifically for that position? Would think their best way to see the field is to just transfer to another shool but have to respect them wanting to stay in the Bison family.

Could become a solid backup and special teams guy too. Willing to play a defensive position gives you more opportunity to do that.

Just because someone is a better athlete doesn't mean they can put it all together mentally and not fold under the bright lights. But this kids a great athlete. He ran for almost as many yards as he threw for in high school. Good genes... his dad was an all All American running back for the Dragons. His dads also a football coach so this kids football IQ is off the charts.
