Zach Boren was Ohio State’s rare fullback-linebacker glue guy
Zach Boren’s value came from versatility, toughness, and leadership: he started 39 career games for Ohio State, shifted from fullback to linebacker in 2012, and still finished that season with 50 tackles plus a sack, forced fumble, and fumble recovery. He also contributed on offense with 11 carries for 33 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2012, making him a high-motor, high-trust fit for a team that wants physicality, football IQ, and a player willing to do the dirty work rather than chase highlight stats.
