Mickey Joseph revealed one player for Nebraska is working out at a new position. That change might also be permanent for the player.

According to Joseph, cornerback Tommi Hill is now working out at wide receiver for the Husker offense. Joseph cited Hill’s previous work as a receiver in high school along with a need to get Hill on the field.

“We need to get Tommi on the field,” Joseph said per Mitch Sherman with The Athletic.

Hill was a 4-star athlete via the class of 2021 and began his career at Arizona State. After one season with the Sun Devils, he made the move to Lincoln and has been productive with the defense.

Hill has 17 total tackles and is second on the team with 4 pass breakups. We’ll see if the position switch pays off for the Huskers – and Hill – moving forward.
