Ohio State Freshman Offensive Lineman Zen Michalski Loses Black Stripe

Zen Michalski has "officially" become a Buckeye.

Ohio State announced Wednesday that the true freshman offensive lineman has shed his black stripe, becoming the fourth Buckeye to do so in the past week. Freshman walk-ons Toby Wilson, Jackson Kuwatch and Reis Stocksdale each lost their black stripes last week.
