There have been multiple examples in recent years of Ohio State defensive linemen finding success after moving inside from defensive end to defensive tackle.
Dre’Mont Jones became a three-year starter and an All-Big Ten lineman for the Buckeyes and was selected in the third round of the NFL draft after moving inside to the 3-technique position. Adolphus Washington became an All-American for Ohio State and a third-round NFL draft pick after making the move inside to defensive tackle. Most recently, Jashon Cornell became a productive fifth-year senior starter and a seventh-round NFL draft pick after moving inside for his final season as a Buckeye.
