FightOn247's Tyler Keckeisen has learned USC tailback D.J. Morgan will move to safety for the 2014 season, according to an inside source. The move comes at his request as well.

This is an interesting move as the team’s depth at tailback is really not that deep if one or two players go down. With Morgan moving to safety, that only leaves Buck Allen, Tre Madden, Justin Davis, and Anthony Brown, who said he switched to running back last week, as the only scholarship tailbacks on the roster.

“Going into his senior season, it looks like he just wants to get on the field as soon as possible and contribute,” the source said. "I guess he doesn’t see playing time at running back with the recent move from Brown. It’s also odd in a way because Chris Hawkins and the other young players have looked really good so far during summer workouts."

A perspective on this move is that Adoree’ Jackson could line up time at tailback on occasion.

Stay tuned for further updates.
