Going into his redshirt freshman season at Ohio State in 2018, Josh Myers had his sights set on becoming a starter on the Buckeyes’ offensive line.
The starting center job was open following Billy Price’s graduation to the NFL, and Myers spent much of the spring and summer battling with Brady Taylor for the opportunity to replace him. When Taylor suffered a knee injury during preseason camp, however, the Buckeyes ended up deciding to move Michael Jordan over to center, with Malcolm Pridgeon taking his place at left guard.
Myers ended up playing only 72 offensive snaps last season, all with the second-team offensive line, and at the time, he wasn’t happy about the lack of playing time.
