Tegra Tshabola’s Move to Tackle Has Been "A Harder Transition Than I Thought,” But He Remains Committed to Improving This Spring

Tegra Tshabola isn’t blowing any smoke about his first offseason at offensive tackle.

After playing on the interior of the Ohio State offensive line as a true freshman, the four-star recruit has transitioned to the outside, where he and third-year lineman Zen Michalski are battling to fill the Dawand Jones-sized hole on the right side this spring. That process hasn’t always been easy, but it hasn’t deterred the second-year Buckeye from trudging forward, either.

“It's been a harder transition than I thought,” Tshabola said during an interview session at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center last week.
