From the sounds of it JB has that nasty streak that we all love in an O-lineman. He also knows how to perform at an all-conference level which he should be able to demand from his teamates.

[sarcasm]
If only he wasn't too soft to put up with the Barwis regimen, he would be a perfect fit for a tOSU lineman

OSU notebook: Boren quick to make big impression
Wednesday, April 8, 2009
By Tim May
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Running back Daniel Herron squirmed into the end zone during a drill in an Ohio State spring practice yesterday, and quarterbacks coach Nick Siciliano sought out someone for a celebratory head butt. And it wasn't Herron -- Siciliano went noggin to noggin with junior left guard Justin Boren.

Boren, the celebrated transfer from Michigan who had to sit out last season, has wasted little time showing why he was a starter for the Wolverines as a freshman as he now presses to earn a starting job with the Buckeyes.

"Boren is so physical," defensive tackle Doug Worthington said. "You look at him and you see how big and how wide he is (6 feet 3, 315 pounds), but he brings it, and he brings it real, real quick."

Which just adds to the theme of the spring for the offensive line: play more physical. Worthington said that goal is shared by the defensive front, too, resulting in some pithy scrimmage sessions thus far.

"The trenches have been working very, very hard," Worthington said. "(The offensive line is) showing a lot and improving every day."

[sarcasm]Man, it's too bad Boren is a slack-jawed lazy fat bastard. Those Michigan guys were right, it was a huge mistake to let him transfer in.[/sarcasm]

I couldn't agree more, what a waste of a scholarship
[/sarcasm]

Really though, he sounds like he really adds something to this line. He has more experience than almost every other player (other than Cordle, about equal) and has great ability and attitude. Something that may even be better, he is at tOSU because he really wants to be, as he and his family are paying his way. Another benefit is he has played against a great defense, in a real game and pretty well held his own, when he faced the tOSU defense as a member of the scUM squad :biggrin:

I love the fact that JT is stressing physicality in practice this year, a lot of ones against ones should really be beneficial for this team when the season rolls around. It should really be a spirited Jersey Scrimmage this year, with both teams somewhat inexperienced but very talented and hungry.
