Could Sorenson be a Slash?

What do you do if you implement a new pass-happy system and you don't have enough receivers? You manufacture more.
That's why I was only mildly surprised to read in an OSU practice report today that first-year freshman quarterback Nate Sorenson got a look at receiver in Oklahoma State's Wednesday practice.
Sorenson was among the nation's top 50 quarterback prospects in high school. Perhaps his long-term future is still at QB. OSU coaches stopped short of calling the switch to receiver a permanent move, according to a sports information spokesperson.
But, in the meanwhile, why not make use of a fleet-footed guy who has skills other than throwing a football? Sorenson could be OSU's "Slash."
For all you young folks out there, "Slash" was a label attached to Pittsburgh Steelers receiver/quarterback Kordell Stewart in the 1990s. Sorenson was born in 1991, which should make most of us feel really old.
