Zordich to Play LB, Not FB

Zombie Nation is reporting, via Fight on State, that redshirt freshman Michael Zordich (who recently swiped a new jersey number) will play linebacker and not fullback as had been rumored. This pleases me. I had hoped we'd have a the Mike Trio (Zordich, Yancich, and Mauti) taking over for Lee, Bowman, and Hull in 2010. Now that is a possibility. Using Zordich at FB would have been a waste of talent, in my opinion. LB Shaine Thompson has been moved to FB in place of Zordich. Smart move by the coaching staff.
