Role change could spark Overton's recruitment 

Chris Overton had to do a little bit of everything for Cleveland Glenville offensively last season. His time on the field last season was almost split in half between receiver and quarterback. While that is what Glenville needed Overton to do to win, it has set his recruiting back a bit.

This season, the 5-foot-10, 165-pound junior will likely split time again, but this fall it will be at receiver and cornerback.
