The Buckeyes played him a bit at LT as a Freshman and Sophomore but when they had to have a new starter when Petit-Frere left, they chose to slide Paris Johnson from LG to LT and leave Dawand at RT. So can he? Yeah, sure. He actually played okay there. That said, the Buckeyes didn't choose to put him there for a full season which is pretty telling in the end.
Anyhow, I honestly don't know how I feel about it. Just like with Freeland, I always worry about the super tall dudes at OT. I feel like 6'5" is the sweet spot. 6'6" is fine. 6'7"+ is starting to get into guys that really get a bit clunky with their kick slide, knee bend, reaching, etc. It's not that you can't live with those guys, you absolutely can. I just prefer my tackles to be a certain way.
