Chip Towers gives us a piece today on Kiante Tripp's surprise move from tackle to tight end. I've heard speculation this was due to Tripp's ineffective play at tackle. On the contrary, this sounds like a move of necessity. Figgins is going to have shoulder surgery and take a medical redshirt (although he may still play against UT). Chandler may be out multiple games. With that Aron White is all we've got since Bryce Ros is being redshirted.
At least Tripp has a good attitude about this. Especially considering this is his 3rd position change.
On defensive backs having to defend him: “They’re clearly not going to want to tackle me. … They’ll probably try to hit me low, so I’ve got to work on my hurdling like Knowshon.”
Now that would be a sight to see.
