How much does position matter?

2022 is a C/3B and occasional pitcher.  One of the teams that he tried out for suggested he should move to 1B and focus on being a masher.  He hit .400 for the summer and has hit several HRs.  So, masher is a possibility from any position. My assumption is that they don't have a 1B and he could fill that role. but it might not be best for him. 

I have always thought that it was extremely hard to get recruited at either corner and 1B is harder to get recruited than 3B.  Also, every tryout, he gets complimented on his arm strength, so, 1B doesn't sound like a good idea while he only has this year to get recruited.  If anybody come to watch him, I assume he will just look like a bad 1B for the entire year.

If a college wants him at 1B, he would be happy to play anywhere on the field.

He has other offers to play 3B/C, so this is more of a general question but I don't want to ignore it if it would be a good transition.
