Big-bodied interior DL with Ohio roots and upside
Tounkara is a 6-foot-0, 280-pound defensive lineman for Ohio State who arrived in June 2024 after producing 58 tackles as a senior at Dublin Scioto, and his value is tied to stout run defense, compact power, and interior physicality rather than flashy stat lines.[1][7] A transfer-ranked interior lineman with three years of eligibility noted in recruiting chatter, he looks like a developmental fit for a program that can sharpen his technique and leverage his size on early downs.[2][3]
