MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Auburn's Nick Marshall is making the move from quarterback to cornerback at the Senior Bowl.
The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Marshall started as a defensive back at Georgia, before getting dismissed from the team.
He says he made the decision after talking to his mother and other family members. Marshall says it wasn't a tough call and predicts that "it won't be a hard transition for me to make."
He played quarterback at junior college and led Auburn to the national championship game during the 2013 season.
Marshall was a Maxwell Award semifinalist as a senior, passing for 4,508 yards and rushing for 1,866 in two seasons.
