Tengwall describes Penn State Winter Workouts
Penn State is ending the toughest part of the college football calendar this week. In February, the team goes through organized Winter Workouts that test each player's mental and physical capabilities. We discuss what that process is like from someone who has gone through it. Few people get the insight into what it's like to be a Nittany Lion at this time of year, and Tengwall tells listeners what the team is building instead of just muscle.
Next, we discuss spring football and the offensive line. The team has three open positions at left tackle, center, and right guard heading into the year, so Tengwall previews each position and the players competing for a starting job.
We discuss how hard it is for Anthony Donkoh to go from left guard to right tackle in a month, coming from a player who shifted between positions his freshman year, too.
He'll give his thoughts on the center competition and what Nick Dawkins means to the team and the O-line room. We touch on left tackle, Drew Shelton's maturation into an expected starter, and the understanding that Penn State fans need to have with Shelton as he replaces an All-American.
NFL Combine Preview
Finally, we discuss what makes Olu Fashanu such a great player. Tengwall played next to the future top NFL pick for two-plus seasons and had a front-row view of the talent fans, and media are discovering in-depth during the draft process.
But Fashanu isn't the only lineman going to the NFL Combine this week. Both right tackle Caedan Wallace and center Hunter Nourzad will show the NFL their skills. Tengwall discusses his expectations for Wallace to wow scouts with his athletic prowess.
