Boren's transfer and Ohio State career per cbssports.com:

Not since World War II has a football player done what Justin Boren did in 2008. After two seasons at Michigan, Boren transferred to Ohio State, crossing enemy lines in the Big Ten's most storied rivalry. Displeased with new Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez's attitude and, in his words, "lack of values" and seemed to have difficulty adjusting to the physical demands of Rodriguez's new no-huddle spread offense.

As a true freshman at Michigan, Boren played in five games and made one start at right guard. He started every game as a sophomore, with eight starts at center and five at left guard.

After transferring to OSU he redshirted in his first year at Columbus. Boren started 11 games in his first year as a Buckeye and was named first-team All-Big Ten, then started every game at left guard while earning second-team all-conference honors.

Boren has been known to play with the nasty demeanor offensive line coaches like and was a welcome addition to an OSU line having some protection problems prior to his arrival.

Elflein's bio per The Ohio State Team Guide:

6-3, 300...from Pickerington...Pat Elflein has been named one of the team's captains for the 2016 season by head coach Urban Meyer, and he will be a center of attention for an Ohio State offense that returns just three starters from a year ago...a fifth-year graduate---he received his degree in communications in May 2016---Elflein will be starting for a third consecutive season on the offensive line...he is a veteran of 42 games and 29 starts...he is a physical, no-nonsense young man who is personable, an excellent team representative and regarded by coaches as one of the top centers in the country this season.

He is a two-time all-Big Ten Conference guard who is moving to center this season to diversify and because it's the position he'll most likely play in the NFL...Elflein's solid character is represented in the fact he is a two-time "Iron Buckeye" award winner, which is awarded to six players bi-annually for unquestioned physical training dedication, determination, discipline, toughness and leadership...he has played on offensive lines that boast the top two yards per carry averages in school history: 6.8 yards in 2013 and 5.7 yards in 2014.
