The recruiting cycle for 2022 is in the books. The Ohio State Buckeyes had a consensus top-five class in the country and are considered the No. 1 class in the Big Ten by a wide margin. The offensive line has been a consistent strength for the Buckeyes and Tegra Tshabola is the next stud in line.

He stands at 6-foot, 5-inches, and 344-pounds with 35-inch arms. If it wasn’t already obvious those are more than ideal traits for an offensive tackle.
Tshabola obviously has all of the physical traits needed to dominate at the next level, but I really like how intelligent of a blocker he is too. He is fairly advanced technically with great hand placement and is…
