Tennessee five-star freshman Gabriel Osenda is three practices into his career with the Volunteers, and the 6-foot-8, 330-pounder already has worked at left tackle and right tackle.
He’s not being picky on where he’s told to go.
“Flipping sides isn’t that difficult,” Osenda said this week in a news conference. “It’s about knowing your plays and knowing what each side has to do at all times and correlating your stance between sides. I’m good with either one.
“It’s wherever the coaches want me to be and wherever I can get playing time. That’s where I want to be.”
Osenda is from Alberta, Canada, and spent the past two autumns competing at Baylor School, where he helped the Red Raiders advance to the TSSAA Division II-AAA state championship game. Baylor came up short to rival McCallie in the 2024 title contest but rallied past Brentwood Academy this past December to claim the program’s second state crown in four years.
