What position can't Aycock play?
Chamberlain quarterback Dontae Aycock is being recruited to play the following positions: QB, running back, linebacker, cornerback and safety.
Impressive? Kind of.
Gatorbait.net reported that at the Florida's Gators' well-known Friday Night Lights camp for elite prospects yesterday, the standout senior, who is a four-star Rivals.com prospect, worked out with the receivers. Not true, according to a commenter below who says Aycock did, in fact, participate with the QBs.
In any event, you have to wonder if there's any position he can't play (Okay, maybe offensive tackle or punter, though I wouldn't put anything past the guy).
The question I ask you all is this: To those who have seen the 5-foot-10, 190-pounder, who boasts offers from the likes of Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Illinois and USF, play, which position is he best suited for at the next level? While we're at it, who are some of the region's other most versatile players?

RB or SS
reminds me of Emanuel Cook RB from Palm Beach Gardens who rushed for over 2,000 on their state championship team. He has turned into a fine SS for the Gamecocks.Same body type

Dontae was at QB the entire night. I was there. Anthony Williams was at WR. Maybe they got them mixed up being from the same school. He threw the ball as good as any QB there.Gator-bait had it wrong.

Let's not fix someone thats not broken. I'm not saying he's not versatile, but I have never seen him play any other postion besides QB. And just seeing the things that he does as field general is beyond amazing.
He would be perfect for an option run team in college, or a USF, UF, WVU, type of spread offence.

good player,but not accurate enough for college. Only completions usually come from "bombs" to Sykes

Aycock was at QB, he and the Clifford kid form Wharton were partnered together. Both threw the ball well.
