Think people are going slot due to the ability to get him the ball on jet sweeps and things of the like (which Syracuse did used to run under Babers).
The emergence of Tucker, who is near the same class of speedster, but in a more physical frame and the fact Hough is coming in has people wondering how to get Jawhar's speed on the field.
The potential loss of Nykeim last year and the lack of step-up from anyone else from the slot thus far this year would make it an opportunity to have him on the field in certain situations.
