There will be a lot of changes this season for the Fort Hays State football team, and for one Tiger, it includes wearing a black jersey at practice rather than white. 

Liberal senior Ricky Jacques is making the move from running back to linebacker. Jacques rushed for 161 yards on 42 carries in a backup role behind James Walker a year ago. He made the switch Tuesday after starting the season at his customary tailback spot.

Jacques says it’s the first time he’s been on the defensive side of the ball since high school.
