Jones was recruited heavily to convert to WR (0U).
Felix Jones was recruited by everyone else (0U/tenner) as a DB.
The question is why Nutt was so good at finding guys like this by letting them play their preferred position (compared to others also heavily recruiting them) vs the staffs since.
Seems like it shouldn't be too hard to find the rb or QB who is being told they are dbs, wrs, lbs, etc by everyone else. This is something that can't be blamed on NIL.

Jones played WR his sophomore and junior years at Van Buren. He played QB when he transferred to Fort Smith Northside.
I remember it was between Arkansas and Oklahoma. Oklahoma wanted him at WR and Arkansas wanted him at QB. Jones wanted to play QB and Nutt desperate for any QBs said ok.
