Tegra Tshabola could provide needed muscle on Ohio State's offensive line in 2023
He was the highest-rated offensive lineman in Ohio State's 2022 class and the Buckeyes need depth up front. Therefore, could second-year OL Tegra Tshabola have a breakout season for OSU in 2023? Or might it be more a developmental year for him?
The 6-foot-6, 320-pound Tshabola was ranked as the No. 10 offensive tackle and the No. 104 overall recruit in the country in the 2022 class, according to the 247Sports Composite. He is a native of West Chester, Ohio (Lakota West).
Bucknuts caught up with Tshabola (pronounced shuh-BOLA) for a one-on-one interview late last month at Peach Bowl media day in Atlanta. We started off asking him what he believes his best position is on the O-line and also to describe his skill-set.
"I would say the position that I am playing right now, which is right guard," Tshabola said. "As for what I do well, I just try and soak in as much of the game as I can from the older guys and improve every day.
"I feel like I bring a lot of power into the game. That's all I did in high school was really push people down the field and I'm starting to get to the point where I can do that here a little bit."
