Out of all the players who will be competing for starting jobs this offseason, there might not be anyone who Ohio State needs to step up more than Zen Michalski.
With Paris Johnson Jr. and Dawand Jones both confirming this week that they will enter the 2023 NFL draft, Ohio State has openings at both offensive tackle spots. Josh Fryar is the frontrunner to fill one of those spots after serving as the sixth man on the offensive line and filling in as the starting right tackle against Indiana this past season. Who will fill the other spot remains a major question.
