After gaining 95 pounds over the last three years, Zen Michalski has quickly positioned himself to be a top backup this year and a potential starting offensive tackle next year.
Zen Michalski sees his window of opportunity to become a starting offensive tackle at Ohio State in the not-too-distant future.
“That is something that I've thought about a lot, and I've talked to a lot of the coaches about, and just that I gotta really step up this year and I gotta get out of the bad habits of like a freshman player,” Michalski said this week. “I'm still pretty young as a player, like this is just my second camp, so I got a lot of stuff to fix, but I have a whole season to fix it. So I'm pretty confident.
Even last year as a 295-pound freshman, Michalski felt overwhelmed at times – particularly once he started running with the second-team offensive line. “I remember just thinking like, ‘Man, after this, I'm taking this offseason for real. I'm not going in survival mode again,’” Michalski said. “I feel like now I can really anchor down and absorb people if I need to or when I'm setting, I'm not going to get driven into the quarterback like I would be as a 295-pound freshman.”
Fellow second-team offensive tackle Josh Fryar said Michalski is “coming along unbelievable” and demonstrating a new level of maturity following his redshirt year. Day said Thursday that Ohio State hasn’t yet decided who would be the next man up at offensive tackle, but he’s hopeful both Michalski and Fryar can be counted on to play as needed.
