Throughout the week of the ReliaQuest Bowl, Alabama football’s Jaylen Mbakwe has appeared in a new role. On Monday, Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer said the freshman’s move to wide receiver is likely to stick moving forward.

Alabama football's switch of Jaylen Mbakwe from CB to WR for the ReliaQuest Bowl could be a permanent move. Here's why that could be a bad idea.

During the weekend, Miami quarterback Cam Ward — a projected first-round pick — played only the first half of the Hurricanes’ Pop-Tart Bowl against Iowa State. DeBoer said it was not in the plans when asked if something similar could happen for Alabama.
