Ohio State has missed out on a few of its big targets at the offensive tackle spot for the 2021 class. It’s not an immediate need, but the position group could suffer some depth issues if the Buckeyes aren’t able to continue to work on filling a need either this year or big-time next recruiting cycle.
And while the current 2021 class might eventually be one for the ages, there’s still a little room to address that very need if OSU believes it’s worth it. On that note, OSU appears to be courting a fast-rising three-star offensive tackle out of Indiana, Zen Michalski.
- Everyone was stunned at the breathtaking sight, but the guide wouldn't tell the driver to pull off at a parking spot for a quick photo stop. It was the biggest regret of the whole trip. Many thanks to a new friend Tony G. I just met on that trip, who generously offered to drive me there again, if I booked a flight when he would be in town.
- True freshman J.T. Tartacoff, who made a quick impression in pre-season camp as a slot receiver, was carted away from today's rain-soaked practice session, making him the fourth key wide receiver.
The catalog is not dated. Slocomb's Catalog No. 13C was issued Feb. 15 was issued Aug. 16 was issued by 1920. The only possible reference to No. 18 is in a Google Books snippet view (restricted) of 'American Machinist', Volume 84, 1940, page 183 which refers to micrometer set no. 22 and says, 'See Catalog 18 for full data.' As we have come to learn over the years, Bauer isn’t most free agents. Inevitable conclusion? Realmuto hit the free-agent market, the Mets seemed like the most likely landing spot for the All-Star catcher. The Phillies had plenty of chances to sign him to an extension, so what was going to change once he hit the open market?

At 6-foot, 6-inches, and 288 pounds, Michalski was originally a Louisville commit. He jumped at the chance to accept an offer from a Power Five FBS program during the recruiting dead period for fear of losing out amid all the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since then though, he’s been able to get on the field for his senior year of high school at Floyd Central and is turning heads. He’s picked up offers from the likes of Florida State, Penn State, Michigan State, and yes — Ohio State.
With his quick rise, it looks like the Buckeyes may have the inside track as well. Michalski talked to Eleven Warriors and explained why he recommitted from the Cardinals.
“It was the right spot at the time,” Michalski told Eleven Warriors. “But now, with different options, seeing everything else and seeing what everyone else has to offer, I just feel like I fit a little bit better somewhere else.

“(Louisville) just wasn’t my fit anymore. It felt a little rushed, just because of COVID and everything, and so many spots were filling up so fast.”
We’ll keep an eye on where this most recent recruiting news goes for Ohio State. There’s a chance we could get something soon fro Michalski, and if we do, we’ll be on top of it.
