One day after the arrest and indefinite suspension of junior wide receiver Da'Vante Phillips, Florida State had senior defensive back Malique Jackson working out Saturday with the wide receiver unit.

Jackson, a senior who originally hails from Georgia, has played sparingly in the Seminoles' defensive backfield. He saw action in six games last season, as a defensive back and special-teams player, and he wasn't expected to compete for a starting job this fall.

At the start of Saturday's practice, Jackson was seen catching passes with the other wide receivers, and he also had ditched his garnet defense jersey for a white one signifying offense. FSU coach Jimbo Fisher confirmed the position switch after Saturday's practice and noted that Jackson has run routes with the Seminoles' other receivers each summer.

"We've got some other corners that are doing some good things," Fisher said in explaining the move. "And I said that guy's very skilled and can run and play ... looks very good doing it. Great ball skills and very athletic; can really run. So we're looking at that and adds some depth there."
