"I was pretty excited when Coach Murphy asked me to make the move," Fried said. "It was a total surprise. I didn't see it coming."
Junior Andy Fried, the second-string wideout whose four catches and two touchdowns ignited Harvard's offense in a 63-21 win over Dartmouth last year, will now be counted on to provide game-breaking receptions--for the defense.
Like many of the talented athletes on the Harvard football team, Fried had played both ways in high school. If Murphy needed any evidence that Fried could handle the rigors of a defensive position at the college level, he merely had to look at the Crimson-best 17 tackles Fried...
Now that he has switched sides, Fried's chances of matching his three touchdowns from last year--tops among all returning players--have been reduced. But his 4.22 speed makes him a serious threat to return interceptions into the end zone.
"I feel I have decent speed," Fried said. "The position is a lot of technique, getting your feet down in the right places. I feel I can keep up with anybody."
