Brent Calloway switching to LB after giving it a shot at RB got me wondering what SEC players have come in and were on one side of the ball, then switched and had success on the field afterwards.
Only one that comes to mind for Bama is Jalston Fowler, and his overall success is still to be seen.
ETA- Provide some details if you don't mind. Name, college, position they started at and where they ended up.

Karlos Dansby, went from WR to LB and is now a PRO Bowler in the NFL

Rashaad Johnson came in as a walk-on running back and ended his career as an All-American safety.

Sorry to slightly hijack, but do you guys really think he was given a chance at RB? as in coaching staff even remotely thought about it

well they didn't just let him run around with the running backs for nothing.

I think that if he outperformed Fowler last year in practice then he would have gotten Fowler's game work.
So yea, I think he got the same shot as Fowler, D Hart, etc...

our depth at running back was pretty weak last year.
Trent, Lacy, Fowler, Sims, Calloway. Pretty sure he got his chance.

Well that doesn't count.

going from tailback to Biletnikof WR counts in my book.

Robert Edwards @ Georgia was a DB they converted to tailback due to a rash of injuries, he was drafted by New England in round one, injured himself at some Pro Bowl function and never recovered enough to relevant
