Zach Boren (6-1, 240), Linebacker/Fullback
(Pickerington, Ohio/North)
Boren is what he is -- a tough, blue-collar, unflashy football player with good instincts and the ability to just get it done between the white lines. Those attributes combined with his marginal lateral mobility are why we project he may end up at fullback at OSU. Friday he also showed why linebacker is not out of the question.
Boren passed the eyeball test physically with his compact frame layered with good bulk and was equally impressive in drills we thought might exploit some weaknesses. More of a tackle-to-tackle, downhill run stopper, Boren showed grit and deceptive athleticism, jamming and running with some of the faster backs in one-on-one passing drills and breaking down well in open-field tackling stations. There were no Buckeyes coaches on hand to witness his camp MVP performance at linebacker, but it showed why he might not be limited to strictly fullback in college.
